One week after LASIK, our patient presented with bilateral haloes and reduced vision. Examination revealed the typical central toxic keratopathy triad: corneal thinning, hyperopic shift and a reduction in best corrected visual acuity to 6/12, which, after commencing high-dose topical steroids, improved 6 months later to 6/6.

Purpose: Sympathetic ophthalmia (SO) is a rare panuveitis after trauma to one eye. We present a case of SO after 23-gauge transconjunctival vitrectomy, including optical coherence tomography evidence of response to treatment. To our knowledge, this is the first SO case report to include spectral domain optical coherence tomography images of Dalen-Fuchs nodules.Methods: Observational case report of a case of SO after two pars plana vitrectomies in the fellow eye.Results: A 67-year-old woman who had an operation for her pseudophakic left eye for a macula-off retinal detachment. She had two surgeries and later on had a total retinal detachment with vision of no perception of light. Eighteen months later, she presented back with a panuveitis with vitritis in her other eye and a visual acuity of 6/18. Dalen-Fuchs denoting SO was found. Treatment was commenced, and multimodal imaging was performed.Conclusion: Sympathetic ophthalmia is a known complication after vitrectomy. Optical coherence tomography can be invaluable in monitoring diagnosis and progression of Dalen-Fuchs nodules.
