Pigment dispersion syndrome diagnosed after photorefractive keratectomy—A case report

Pigment dispersion syndrome predominantly affects young myopes. It is not uncommon for such patients to seek refractive surgery. It may also be encountered after an uneventful refractive surgery. We report a case of a young myopic male who presented with bilateral pigment dispersion syndrome 9 month...

description Pigment dispersion syndrome predominantly affects young myopes. It is not uncommon for such patients to seek refractive surgery. It may also be encountered after an uneventful refractive surgery. We report a case of a young myopic male who presented with bilateral pigment dispersion syndrome 9 months after an uneventful photorefractive keratectomy. A meticulous ocular examination is the cornerstone of a successful refractive surgery. Through this report, we highlight the need for gonioscopy to be included as a routine examination in screening for refractive surgery.
