Removal of corneal foreign bodies following laser in situ keratomileusis
Purpose:
To report the outcome of uncomplicated removal of corneal foreign bodies in patients who previously underwent laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK).
Methods:
Nine eyes of eight patients presented with corneal foreign bodies after LASIK.
Results:
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.
Conclusion:
Corneal foreign bodies can be removed safely and effectively from corneas after LASIK.
