A patient was treated bilaterally for myopia using laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). There was no evident tomographic risk factor for ectasia, but a slight asymmetry on the Placido topography in the left eye. Seven years postoperatively, a unilateral ectasia was diagnosed. Retrospectively, the calculated Score for the left eye was +0.2. This case suggests that an artificial intelligence system based on the combination of Placido and tomographic indices may be helpful for the detection of ectasia susceptible eyes.
