We report a case of bilateral keratoconus after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Before surgery, the patient had a forme fruste keratoconus, which evolved rapidly to a severe form of keratoconus in the months following LASIK. From this case, we conclude that forme fruste keratoconus is a contraindication to LASIK.
