Corneal iron ring associated with iatrogenic keratectasia after myopic laser in situ keratomileusis

A 23-year-old woman had bilateral myopic laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Two months postoperatively, she reported decreased visual acuity. Biomicroscopic examination revealed a corneal epithelial iron ring around the central keratectasia on both corneas. The appearance of the ring pattern was similar to the iron deposits of the Fleischer ring of keratoconus.
