Raised intraocular pressure (IOP) after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) can cause interface fluid. Accurate IOP measurement post-LASIK is crucial for managing complications like steroid-induced glaucoma.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Corneal Surgery
  • Glaucoma Management

Background:

  • Laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is a common refractive surgery.
  • Postoperative complications can include inflammation and elevated intraocular pressure (IOP).

Observation:

  • A patient developed diffuse lamellar keratitis and interface fluid post-LASIK.
  • Aggressive topical corticosteroid treatment led to a steroid-induced rise in IOP.

Findings:

  • Goldmann tonometry underestimated IOP (3.0 mm Hg), while Schiotz tonometry overestimated it (54.7 mm Hg).
  • Reduced corticosteroid dosage and IOP management resolved the complications.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the challenges in accurate IOP measurement after LASIK.
