Abstract
<br>A 21-year-old female presented with a stick injury in her right eye 6 months after an uneventful laser <i>in situ</i> keratomileusis (LASIK). Diffuse lamellar keratitis which responded well to the initial treatment with topical steroids, progressed rapidly within the next 3 weeks to develop corneal perforation. A microbiological examination revealed a rare fungus <i>Scedosporium prolificans</i>. The patient was successfully managed with topical voriconazole 1% and cyanoacrylate glue for corneal perforation. At the end of 7 weeks, keratitis healed with a best-corrected visual acuity of hand movements. Hence, a strong suspicion of infectious interface keratitis is warranted while treating post-LASIK keratitis.<br>
