Purpose: We report a patient diagnosed with corneal keloid who had laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK).
Case summary: A 41-year-old female presented with LASIK 15 years ago. Seven years later, she presented with a growing white corneal mass located in the lower periphery of the right cornea. The best-corrected visual acuity was 0.6 in the right eye and 0.7 in the left eye, and the white lesion was observed in the right cornea at the 5 o¡¯clock position. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography revealed that the mass was invaded by the upper stroma and epithelium, and Bowmans¡¯s membrane was destroyed. Histopathologic examination showed fusiform fibroblasts and disorganized collagen. Taken together, these findings suggested corneal keloids.
Conclusions: Corneal keloids is a rare disease that develops, sometimes, after LASIK surgery. Although there have been cases of this reported in the literature, there had yet to be a case of LASIK-induced corneal keloids in Korea until this study, reported here.
