DESIGN: Observational case repo rt. METHODS: A 47-yearold man and a 50-year-old woman who experienced vision loss and corneal changes associated with acute anterior uveitis after LASIK were examined. RESULTS: The 47-year-old man, who had undergoneLASIKfor lowmyopia d eveloped an interlamellar fluid pocket at the level of the flap interface, where as the 50-year-old woman, who underwent LASIK for hyperopia, developed marked flap edema without interface fluid collection. CONCLUSIONS: These two cases demo nstrated acute corneal fluid accumulation associated with episodes of acute ante rior uveitis in eyes that had undergone LASIK. Uveitis should be considered a ri sk factor for vision threatening corneal complications after LASIK.展开更多
