摘要：

A 35-year-old man developed diffuse lamellar keratitis (DLK) 10 months after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). The DLK was associated with acute iritis, not with manipulation of the LASIK flap or epithelium. This case supports the hypothesis that DLK is a nonspecific inflammatory response of the cornea rather than a specific agent causing the syndrome. (C) 2001 ASCRS and ESCRS.
