[Traumatic flap displacement after LASIK].
METHODS
We present a case of traumatic displacement of corneal flap in the superior temporal quadrant 13 days after LASIK. The flap was repositioned after gentle irrigation of BSS, cleaned the interface and then drying the flap to verify its stability. In the next day the flap was adhered, clear cornea,smooth and visual acuity without correction was 1.00.


CONCLUSIONS
We should try immediately to reposition the flap after traumatic displacement, as in this case.
