Abstract

We present 6 cases of blunt trauma after uneventful laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). The trauma was strong enough to cause macular edema in 2 cases, which lead to a transient decease of visual acuity, and 1 case had partial loss of the flap. No cases had rupture of the globe. This is evidence that LASIK surgery may not increase the risk of rupture of the globe after blunt trauma.
