Abstract
We report a case of bilateral infectious keratitis occurring as a complication of bilateral simultaneous laser in situ keratomileusis enhancement procedures. Corneal scraping from the interface of both eyes grew Staphylococcus aureus. The infection cleared after treatment with fortified cefazolin, fortified gentamicin, and ciprofloxacin eyedrops. The patient was left with bilateral paracentral corneal scars. When bilateral surgery is performed, bilateral infection may occur as a rare complication.
