Abstract
A 41-year-old man with myopic astigmatism had laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in each eye in April 2002. Ten months later, he sustained a central perforating corneal injury to the right eye. One day following repair of the corneal wound, he presented with diffuse corneal epithelial microcystic edema, lamellar interface fluid accumulation, and 20/400 visual acuity. Additional sutures were placed to close a presumed posterior wound gape with complete resolution of the corneal edema and lamellar interface fluid collection. One year later, his best corrected visual acuity measured 20/20+ in the right eye. This case is the first to document lamellar interface fluid accumulation following LASIK owing to traumatic disruption of the corneal endothelium.
