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.
