Аннотация
INTRODUCTION: This case report describes a rare case of fungal keratitis following femtoLASIK. Despite targetted antifungal therapy, this case necessitated an innovative surgical approach to manage an unexpected corneal perforation.
CASE PRESENTATION: A 35-year-old male presented 3 weeks post-femtoLASIK for myopic astigmatism with discomfort and reduced vision in his right eye. He was diagnosed with fungal keratitis surgery caused by Purpureocillium lilacinum and was treated with a myriad of therapy. Unfortunately, the patient developed corneal perforation during flap lift and flap bed irrigation. An innovative approach involving a tectonic autograft using a viable LASIK flap, followed by prompt penetrating keratoplasty, was utilised.
CONCLUSION: This technique was effective and able to mitigate the progression to an open globe.
