This case report illustrates an unusual presentation of diffuse lamellar keratitis triggered by a foreign body striking the eye 6 months after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). The etiology of diffuse lamellar keratitis is unclear. The infiltrate within the plane of the flap after removal of the foreign body supports the theory that diffuse lamellar keratitis is an inflammatory reaction.
