Peripheral Sterile Corneal Infiltrate Status Postfemto-laser In situ Keratomileusis

A BSTRACT Peripheral sterile corneal infiltrate status postlaser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is a relatively rare complication. A 26-year-old female who underwent uneventful femtosecond laser-assisted LASIK developed unilateral peripheral, multifocal corneal infiltrate along the flap margin on postoperative day 4 and responded to topical steroids and oral doxycycline resulting in complete resolution on postoperative day 9, with best-corrected visual acuity 6/6. Early diagnosis and appropriate management can result in quick resolution without compromising visual outcome.
