Diffuse lamellar keratitis is an uncommon issue after laser eye surgery. Early diagnosis and management are key to preventing vision loss from this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Refractive Surgery

Background:

  • Laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) procedures are increasing.
  • Diffuse lamellar keratitis (DLK) is an uncommon postoperative complication.
  • DLK can negatively impact visual outcomes after LASIK.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a diagnostic and management strategy for DLK.
  • To share insights from a high-volume refractive surgery practice.
  • To reduce visual loss associated with DLK.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a strategy based on clinical experience.
  • Focused on understanding the disease's time course.
  • Emphasized proper identification and staging of DLK.

Main Results:

  • A systematic approach to DLK diagnosis and management was established.
  • Experience from a high-volume practice informed the strategy.
  • The strategy aims to mitigate visual impairment.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding DLK's progression is crucial.
  • Timely identification, staging, and intervention are vital.
  • Effective management can prevent vision loss in LASIK patients.
