| Popis: | A 27-year-old woman had microkeratome-assisted laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for moderate bilateral hyperopia. The preoperative ophthalmologic examination was unremarkable except for minimal lissamine green staining bilaterally on the nasal conjunctiva. On the first postoperative day, the uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) was 20/20 bilaterally and the corneas were clear. Four days later, the patient presented with mild blur in both eyes. Examination showed diffuse bilateral epithelial cysts encompassing the central 6.0 to 7.0 mm of the flaps with overlying diffuse lissamine green staining. The UDVA was 20/30 bilaterally. Aggressive lubrication was administered. The epithelial cysts coalesced into larger ones over subsequent visits and began regressing over several months, along with improvement in vision. At 6 months, the cysts had completely resolved, the corneas were clear, and the UDVA was 20/20. |
