Abstract
A 23-year-old woman had bilateral myopic laser in situ keratomileusis (LASI K). Two months postoperatively, she reported decreased visual acuity. Biomi croscopic examination revealed a corneal epithelial iron ring around the ce ntral keratectasia on both corneas. The appearance of the ring pattern was similar to the iron deposits of the Fleischer ring of keratoconus. J Catara ct Refract Surg 2000; 26: 1684-1686 (C) 2000 ASCRS and ESCRS.
