We report the results of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) to correct myopia in a 47-year-old woman with congenital motor nystagmus and myopia. The patient had simultaneous bilateral LASIK using the Alcon-Summit-Autonomous LADARVision excimer laser. Her uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) preoperatively was 20/600 in the right eye and 20/800 in the left eye; best corrected visual acuity was 20/40 in both eyes. Twelve months after bilateral LASIK, with an enhancement procedure in both eyes at 4 months, UCVA was 20/40 in both eyes. Corneal topography showed well-centered ablation zones.
