Abstract: | · Background: This is the first report of a bilateral submacular hemorrhage after LASIK surgery in an extreme myo pic patient. A 31-year-old man underwent bilateral surgery for correction of –16.75+0.75×70° and –16.50+0.50×55°. · Methods: Case report. · Results: One day after surgery the patient’s uncorrected visual acuity was in the 20/50 range OU and by 17 days after surgery his visual acuity had declined to 20/200 range. Fundus examination showed multifocal subretinal macular and posterior pole hemorrhages. Fluorescein angiography showed some macular lesions compatible with lacquer cracks. · Conclusions: Preoperative and postoperative fundus examination is important to detect this phenomenon. Patients should be informed of this rare complication. Received: 2 June 1998 Revised version received: 16 November 1998 Accepted: 17 November 1998 |
