Delayed diffuse lamellar keratitis after laser in situ keratomileusis

Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, 2001
ABSTRACTTwo cases are reported of delayed diffuse lamellar keratitis after uneventful laser in situ keratomileusis. The first patient presented with an epithelial defect 6 weeks after laser in situ keratomileusis. Three days later the defect was healed but diffuse lamellar keratitis was noted.

Diffuse lamellar keratitis: Diagnosis and management

Journal of Cataract & Refractive Surgery, 2000
With the volume of laser in situ keratomileusis procedures growing exponentially, ophthalmologists and other eye-care providers are becoming aware of an uncommon postoperative condition, diffuse lamellar keratitis, that can affect an otherwise ideal outcome. We present our strategy for diagnosing and managing this syndrome, developed from experience in

Diffuse Lamellar Keratitis

Eye & Contact Lens: Science & Clinical Practice, 2015
Diffuse lamellar keratitis is a fairly uncommon complication of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) that usually occurs within 1 week of surgery. It is described as an inflammatory reaction in the lamellar interface characterized by a diffuse, white granular lamellar keratitis. Progression of the keratitis can result in scarring and significant visual
