Abstract EN
Purpose.
To report an unknown complication of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) surgery.
Case Presentation.
A 28-year-old female presented with photophobia and glare to our eye service.
She stated in her medical history that she had undergone femtosecond assisted LASIK surgery in both eyes 15 months ago and her symptoms started just after this surgery.
On admission, her best-corrected visual acuity was 10/10 in both eyes.
She had mydriatic pupils with no direct light reflex.
Examination of the anterior segment revealed bilateral iris atrophy projecting within the LASIK ablation zone and a transillumination defect was remarkable on the slit lamp examination.
Conclusion.
We hypothesized that this condition may have been caused by the abnormally increased IOP that resulted in ischemia in the iris vascular plexus during the suction process of surgery.
