Abstract:We report 6 eyes (spherical refraction from À4.0 to À10.0 diopters) in 4 cases of diffuse lamellar keratitis (DLK) after femtosecond laser refractive lenticule extraction. A refractive lenticule was created using a femtosecond laser and then extracted through a 3.0 mm incision (5 eyes without a flap) and an approximately 20.0 mm incision (1 eye, flap thickness 100 mm). On the first postoperative day, Case 1 developed bilateral DLK (stage 1), Case 2 developed DLK (stage 2) with a small tear at the incision edge… Show more
