Abstract
To report the outcome of uncomplicated removal of corneal foreign bodies in patients who previously underwent laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Nine eyes of eight patients presented with corneal foreign bodies after LASIK. In three patients, diagnosis of corneal foreign bodies was delayed due to reduced pain and symptoms. Removal of foreign bodies was performed with no flap-related complications. Corneal wound healing was normal. Final visual acuity was not decreased. Corneal foreign bodies can be removed safely and effectively from corneas after LASIK.
