Abstract
Transient keratectasia developed in association with a marked intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation in a 26-year-old man who had laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for myopia of -9.0 diopters. The keratectasia subsided promptly after the IOP was normalized by an intravenous administration of mannitol. Keratectasia did not recur. Intraocular pressure elevation can cause keratectasia in a structurally compromised cornea after LASIK.Entities:
