متن کاملDiffuse lamellar keratitis in the femtosecond-assisted LASIK flap tunnel
Here we report a case of a 29-year-old myopic female who underwent femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and, on the first postoperative day slit-lamp examination revealed a dense, white, granular reaction with the presence of some blood droplets (stage I diffuse lamellar keratitis [DLK]) in her left eye, specifically localized into the femtosecond LASIK flap tunnel (not ext...
متن کاملHyeropic shift after LASIK induced Diffuse lamellar keratitis
BACKGROUND Diffuse lamellar keratitis (DLK) is a relatively new syndrome that is increasingly being reported after LASIK. We have observed that a hyperopic shift may be associated with the occurrence of this diffuse lamellar keratitis. CASE PRESENTATION A 26 year old man developed bilateral diffuse lamellar keratitis (DLK) following myopic LASIK. The residual refractive error was +0.5D OD and...
متن کاملThe Effect of Diffuse Lamellar Keratitis on Visual Acuity and Contrast Sensitivity following LASIK
PURPOSE To evaluate visual outcome and the changes of contrast sensitivity (CS) after diffuse lamellar keratitis (DLK). METHODS Using retrospective chart review, 48 eyes of 25 patients who underwent laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) with Visx S4 (VISX Inc., Santa Clara, CA) and M2 (Moria, France) and who were followed for at least six months were included.

PURPOSE To determine if lamellar keratoplasty in rabbits latently infected with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) would stimulate graft recipients to shed virus and induce viral-specific corneal lesions. METHODS Rabbits latently infected with HSV-1 received lamellar allografts in one eye from normal uninfected rabbits and the contralateral eyes served as unoperated controls. Normal rabbits ...
