ABSTRACT
We describe a case of a 47-year-old woman who underwent bilateral laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for the correction of myopia and astigmatism. Two months later a residual refractive error was present in both eyes. LASIK retreatment was decided and performed the following day. Twenty-four hours after the procedure, the patient reported myodesopsia in both eyes. Funduscopic examination revealed a complete bilateral posterior vitreous detachment confirmed by kinetic ultrasound. Visual disturbance in both eyes continued to be present after 10 months of follow-up. Sudden changes in intraocular pressure related to suction ring use might be the cause of posterior vitreous detachment in this patient.
