Abstract

The presence of interface debris is commonly reported in patients having undergone LASIK refractive surgery. The patient described here had numerous large particles believed to be plastic and metal artefacts from the surgery at the level of the stroma/flap interface, along with a corneal scar consistent with a foreign body injury. The aetiology and possible sequelae of the particles and scar are discussed.
