Premacular subhyaloid hemorrhage following laser in situ keratomileusis
1Department of Ophthalmology, American University of Beirut, Lebanon. dr.ahmad@cyberia.net.lb
Abstract
Purpose:
To report a case of premacular subhyaloid hemorrhage following laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK).
Methods:
Case report.
Results:
The subhyaloid hemorrhage did not resolve over 1 month of observation, necessitating Nd:YAG posterior hyaloidotomy.
Conclusion:
The LASIK procedure can be associated with postoperative subhyaloid hemorrhage, presumably from rapid release of the microkeratome vacuum pressure.
