| Popis: | A 38-year-old man sustained a dislocated flap after being struck in the left eye with a football more than 30 months after uneventful laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Consequent epithelial ingrowth and microstriae required surgical treatment. The postoperative course was uneventful with recovery of 20/20 Snellen uncorrected visual acuity. This case illustrates the need for LASIK patients to wear protective eyewear when participating in contact sports. |
