Pigment dispersion syndrome predominantly affects young myopes. It is not uncommon for such patients to seek refractive surgery. It may also be encountered after an uneventful refractive surgery. We report a case of a young myopic male who presented with bilateral pigment dispersion syndrome 9 months after an uneventful photorefractive keratectomy. A meticulous ocular examination is the cornerstone of a successful refractive surgery. Through this report, we highlight the need for gonioscopy to be included as a routine examination in screening for refractive surgery.
