title: Monocular diplopia following excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy after radial keratotomy.
abstract: A 48-year-old man had symptoms of monocular diplopia following photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) for residual myopia after radial keratotomy. The cornea was characterized by a ring of subepithelial haze. A new type of corneal topography analysis that depicts areas of focal optical micro irregularity was used to diagnose the etiology of the optical symptoms.
