    Author: Porges Y, Landau D, Douieb J, Levinger S.
    Journal: J Refract Surg; 2001; 17(5):559-60. PubMed ID: 11583227.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To report the outcome of uncomplicated removal of corneal foreign bodies in patients who previously underwent laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). METHODS: Nine eyes of eight patients presented with corneal foreign bodies after LASIK. RESULTS: In three patients, diagnosis of corneal foreign bodies was delayed due to reduced pain and symptoms. Removal of foreign bodies was performed with no flap-related complications. Corneal wound healing was normal. Final visual acuity was not decreased. CONCLUSION: Corneal foreign bodies can be removed safely and effectively from corneas after LASIK.
