Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) can cause retinal phlebitis and cystoid macular edema. Early diagnosis and corticosteroid treatment restored normal vision in a case study.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Retinal Diseases
  • Refractive Surgery

Background:

  • Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is a common refractive surgery.
  • Retinal complications following LASIK are rare but can impact visual outcomes.

Observation:

  • A 30-year-old woman developed bilateral blurred vision 8 weeks after myopic LASIK.
  • Fundus examination revealed parafoveal and juxtafoveal whitish patches and absent foveal reflex in both eyes.

Findings:

  • Diagnosis of bilateral retinal phlebitis with cystoid macular edema was confirmed.
  • Treatment with oral corticosteroids led to improved visual acuity and reduced retinal lesions.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the potential for delayed retinal complications after LASIK.

  • Ophthalmologists should consider retinal phlebitis in patients presenting with visual disturbances post-LASIK.
  • Awareness of LASIK-related retinal risks is crucial for surgeons.
