| Popis: | Interface fluid syndrome after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is a rare but visually threatening postoperative complication. In this case series we present 8 post-LASIK eyes that developed interface fluid syndrome after prolonged steroid use. Patients presented with signs mimicking diffuse lamellar keratitis (DLK) that worsened with steroid treatment. Slit-lamp examination revealed corneal haze and an optically clear fluid-filled space between the flap and stroma. The IOP was high in all cases. Topical steroids were stopped and replaced with topical and systemic anti-glaucoma medications resulting in a dramatic improvement in visual acuity. |
