Abstract
Purpose
To describe a patient with unilateral astigmatic changes associated with stromal edema secondary to increased intraocular pressure after LASIK.
Method
Case report and review of the literature.
Results
We report a case of unilateral astigmatic changes associated with increased intraocular pressure (IOP) immediately following bilateral LASIK. After treatment with two IOP lowering medications and early cessation of steroids, the topographic and manifest astigmatism gradually resolved with improvement in visual acuity.
Conclusion
Pressure induced stromal keratitis (PISK) can have an asymmetric presentation that may manifest with an increase in corneal curvature. Corneal topography changes are not typically reported with PISK. Therefore, we wish to bring light to topographical changes as a tool to help aid in early diagnosis of PISK.
