Abstract

Laser in situ keratomileusis flap amputation was performed in 3 eyes of 2 patients because of flap melt and surface irregularity. In the first patient, a 34-year-old man, flaps were excised after a photorefractive keratectomy retreatment procedure on a previous LASIK flap had been done, secondary to steroid-induced interlamellar keratitis, progressive melt, and irregularity of the corneal surface. In the second patient, a 52-year-old man, the LASIK flap in the right eye was repeatedly treated for epithelial ingrowth. The patient developed herpetic keratitis and a flap melt, which had to be amputated. In all 3 eyes, amputation of the LASIK flap resulted in relatively good uncorrected distance visual acuity and corrected distance visual acuity.
