Presumed late diffuse lamellar keratitis progressing to interface fluid syndrome

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 2008
We report an unusual case of presumed late-onset unilateral diffuse lamellar keratitis of uncertain etiology in a 23-year-old man who presented with elevated intraocular pressure following uneventful laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). After treatment with topical corticosteroid therapy, the condition progressed to interface fluid syndrome.
