    Author: Ozdamar A, Aras C, Ustundag C, Bahcecioglu H, Ozkan S.
    Journal: J Cataract Refract Surg; 2000 Nov; 26(11):1684-6. PubMed ID: 11084280.
    Abstract:
    A 23-year-old woman had bilateral myopic laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Two months postoperatively, she reported decreased visual acuity. Biomicroscopic examination revealed a corneal epithelial iron ring around the central keratectasia on both corneas. The appearance of the ring pattern was similar to the iron deposits of the Fleischer ring of keratoconus.
