Viscoelastic-Induced Interlamellar Stromal Keratopathy (VISK) during Cataract Surgery in a Patient with a History of Laser in situ Keratomileusis

A 47-year-old patient status post uncomplicated bilateral LASIK treatment presented with interlamellar stromal keratopathy induced by viscoelastic material during cataract surgery, decreasing her vision to CF (count fingers) postoperatively. After recognition, the viscoelastic material was removed b...

description A 47-year-old patient status post uncomplicated bilateral LASIK treatment presented with interlamellar stromal keratopathy induced by viscoelastic material during cataract surgery, decreasing her vision to CF (count fingers) postoperatively. After recognition, the viscoelastic material was removed by interface irrigation. The keratopathy improved by postoperative day 1 and resolved by 6 weeks with best-corrected visual acuity being 20/30. We conclude that viscoelastic-induced stromal keratopathy requires correct recognition in order to undertake appropriate management.
