OBJECTIVE: To report recurrent herpetic keratouveitis following YAG laser peripheral iridotomy. METHODS: Case report. RESULTS: A 64-year-old woman with a history of dendritic keratitis underwent Nd:YAG laser peripheral iridotomy and developed geographic epithelial keratitis with stromal keratouveitis. Culture of a corneal swab grew herpes simplex virus type I. Keratouveitis subsided with acyclovir and corticosteroid therapy. CONCLUSIONS: Recurrent herpetic keratouveitis may be induced by YAG laser iridotomy.
