Abstract
|
|
|
|
Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) surgery is one of the most commonly performed operations in the world. However, there are postoperative complications associated with LASIK flaps. Traumatic dislocation of LASIK flaps may occur many years after the refractive surgery. Flap striae and epithelial ingrowth are usually associated with flap dislocation. We described an appearance of epithelium, haze, and striae in the flap interface as visualized by high-resolution anterior segment optical coherence tomography. This experience may provide appropriate knowledge to clinicians for differentiating between inflammation, haze, epithelium, and fluid in the interface, as well as provide aid in the management of post-LASIK complications.
