Interface fluid after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is a rare complication. This case report details its clinical features and successful management with corticosteroids and antiglaucoma agents.

Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Corneal Surgery
Refractive Surgery

Background:

Laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is a common refractive surgery procedure.
Interface fluid, a rare complication, can occur post-LASIK.
Understanding its clinical presentation and management is crucial.

Observation:

A 40-year-old male developed diffuse lamellar keratitis one day after LASIK for residual refractive error.
Six weeks post-LASIK, a significant layer of interface fluid was noted.
Intraocular pressure readings varied between Goldmann applanation tonometry (9 mmHg) and Tono-pen tonometry (30 mmHg).

Findings:

The interface fluid presented clinically in a patient with a history of penetrating keratoplasty.
Successful resolution of interface fluid was achieved using a combination of topical corticosteroids, antiglaucoma agents, and cyclosporine.

This case highlights the importance of monitoring intraocular pressure post-LASIK.

Implications:

This case contributes to the understanding of interface fluid as a rare LASIK complication.
Effective management strategies involve a multi-drug approach including corticosteroids and antiglaucoma agents.
Further research into the etiology and prevention of LASIK-associated interface fluid is warranted.
