2002
Case no. 1Case no. 1
S.H., 26 year old engineer referred for
correction of his refractive error Glasses & refraction were stable for
over 3years There was no h/o contact lens wearing
nor any positive attitude to its use Past medical history: negative for any
systemic disease Pre-op Refraction OD- 4.00-0.50x 180°
OS- 4.25-0.25x180°
Case no. 1… cont.Case no. 1… cont.Pre-op Topography: OU unremarkable
Sim K OD 43.5/43.0
OS 43.0/43.0
Central pachy OD 560µ
OS 545µ
Operation Data: Standard LASIK procedure
Excimer machine: Nidek EC-5000
Microkeratome: Moria CB
Complication: None
Post-op Course:
Day 1 CC: No pain, No photophobia,
SLE OU: Trace interface infiltration at
periphery (GradeI)
OU: Mid-stromal infiltration
peripheral to flap Trace AC reaction
RX: Beta OU q4h + Chloramphenicol OU q6h
Day 2: OU: Peripheral infiltration increased,
No CED, stable interface infiltrates
RX:- Beta OU q2h
- Chramphenicol OU q2h
Case no. 1… cont.Case no. 1… cont.
Post-op Course….cont.Day 3: OU(OD>OS): Peripheral circumferential
infiltration, became dense, No CED
RX: Beta OU q1h
Prednisolone 75mg PO qd started
Day 5: Peripheral infiltrations markedly decreased
Day 7: Tapering topical and systemic steroid
started
1rst month: Faintly visible peripheral infiltration
Clean interface and flap
UCVA OU 20/20 with non-significant
refractive error

Case no. 2Case no. 2 R.C., 38 year old female seeking refractive
surgery for correction of her refractive error Positive history of contact lens wearing
discontinued years ago Stable glasses and refraction > 10 years Negative history of any systemic disease Cormeal and ophthalmic exam: unremarkable Refraction OD-2.00-5.00 x 170° OS –1.50-5.00 x 10°
Intraoperative eventsIntraoperative events
OD: operated first developed inferior paracentral ˜ 3mm CED during microkeratome pass, she was proposed to postpone 2nd eye surgery OS: Tetracaine epithelial toxicity? supposed LASIK performed with only one drop Intraoperative epithelial loosening occurred: no CED
Postop CoursePostop CourseDay 1: CC: pain, photophobia OU
SLE: OU: - Bilateral inferior paracentral CED
- minimal infilteration under CED
RX: - Beta OU bid
- Chloramphenicol OU q6h
Day 2: CC: pain and photopobia
Exam: - OU stable CED
- infiltration, confined to area of CED
- mild AC reaction
RX: - Beta was D/C
- Ciprofloxacin OU q2h started
Post-op CoursePost-op CourseDay 3: CC, Mild pain
Exam: OU: - CED began to improve
- infiltration spread outward DLK?!
RX: - prednisolone 50mg (1mg/kg) started
- ciprofloxacin OU q4h
Day 5: CC, marked improvement
Exam: OU: - pseudodendrite, no CED’s
- infiltration involved all over interface
(gradeII)
RX: - prednisolone 75mg (1.5mg/kg)
- Ciprofloxacin OU q6h
- Beta OU q4h started
Post-op CoursePost-op Course2 weeks: - completely improved CED
- resolved interface infiltration
- improved flap edema
RX: topical and systemic steroids tapered and
discontinued
1 month: UCVA OD 20/25 OS 20/25
Refraction OD –0.25-0.75 x 180°
OS –0.50-0.50 x 180°
SLE OU: no CED
- OS: small 1x1mm epithelial pearl at interface
- Up to 6 months follow-up, condition unstable
Epithelial Erosions: Epithelial Erosions: are not benign complications are not benign complications associated with:associated with:
Increase risk of epithelial ingrowth
Induced astigmatism
Flap edema
Over or undercorrection
DLK
Flap melt
Epithelial erosion: Epithelial erosion: CausesCauses Tangential shearing effect of friction on
the epithelium Excessive topical anesthetic Improper draping Rough corneal marking Poor blade edge quality Epithelial basement membrane dystrophy aging

myopia about 2 months ago Pre-operative history and evaluations were
unremarkable except –7.00 D myopia in both eyes
LASIK: bilateral simultaneous, uncomplicated Early postop: developed DLK Grade II in both eyes (OS>OD) Intensive and aggressive steroid therapy: Beta
