Authors Liu A, Manche EE The authors report anterior segment optical coherence tomography OCT imaging findings in a case of central toxic keratopathy following laser in situ keratomileusis LASIK surgery for low hyperopia. OCT imaging month after surgery demonstrates that the flap thickness is maintained and the location of stromal tissue loss is just posterior to the flap in the stromal bed in the affected area. This corresponds to the clinical observation of interface opacity extending posteriorly into the stroma as first described by Sonmez and Maloney in their initial description of the syndrome. Follow-up OCT imaging months later revealed interval decrease in stromal thinning. The etiology of this syndrome is unknown.

Although dry eye complaints are a leading cause of patient discomfort and dissatisfaction after LASIK, the symptoms are not uniform, and the disease is not a single entity.
