ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To report an unusual case of interface fluid syndrome after refractive surgery.METHODS:
A 37-year-old man with high myopia underwent a planned bioptics procedure including creation of a corneal flap using a mechanical microkeratome and concurrent anterior chamber phakic intraocular lens implantation; excimer laser ablation was not performed at this time.RESULTS:
Postoperatively, the patient developed corneal edema and was referred to our department. Interface fluid syndrome was confirmed using optical coherence tomography; the mechanism was due to endothelial cell pump dysfunction.CONCLUSIONS:
This is the first report to document interface fluid syndrome following a planned bioptics procedure.
