Mycobacteria may cause infectious crystalline keratopathy after LASIK. The presence of crystalline keratopathy in patients that underwent LASIK must be considered an indicator of nontuberculous mycobacteria infection. Microbiologic work-up of a corneal specimen is required for the institution of appropriate therapy.

The adjunctive use of UV-A and B2 therapy did not demonstrate antitrophozoite activity; in vivo UV-A and B2 did not demonstrate efficacy in this model.

Infectious keratitis following ICRS implantation is a sight-threatening complication for which early recognition and rapid institution of appropriate treatment may result in a better visual outcome.
