PURPOSE: To report a case of premacular subhyaloid hemorrhage following laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). METHODS: Case report. RESULTS: The subhyaloid hemorrhage did not resolve over 1 month of observation, necessitating Nd:YAG posterior hyaloidotomy. CONCLUSION: The LASIK procedure can be associated with postoperative subhyaloid hemorrhage, presumably from rapid release of the microkeratome vacuum pressure.
