Resumen

RIVERON RUIZ, Yanaisa; ORTEGA DIAZ, Lorelei; MIRANDA HERNANDEZ, Iramis  y  RODRIGUEZ SANCHEZ, Sorania. Diffuse lamellar keratitis after incomplete corneal flap cut. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2012, vol.25, n.2, pp.342-349. ISSN 0864-2176.

The diffuse lamellar keratitis is a sterile swelling of the lamellar interface which arises generally 24 hours after laser in situ keratomileusis and might affect the final visual acuity. A 25 years- old patient with history of corneal refractive surgery by laser in situ keratomileusis on his right eye was reported. He suffered from an incomplete corneal flap cut as complication during the surgical procedure, and a diffuse lamellar keratitis was detected at the immediate postsurgical visit. Total visual recovery and the refractive defect stability were attained through local treatment. This allows further correcting the defect by means of a surface refractive surgery in the future.

Palabras clave : diffuse lamellar keratitis; LASIK complications; incomplete corneal flap cut; LASEK.
