title: Late onset lamellar keratitis and epithelial ingrowth following orbital cellulitis.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report a case of late onset lamellar keratitis and epithelial ingrowth associated with orbital cellulitis 1 month after LASIK surgery.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 19-year-old patient presented with pain and subsequent blurry vision in the right eye. One month prior to presentation, he had undergone LASIK in both eyes. Orbital cellulitis was suspected.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Under aggressive treatment, the patient recovered from orbital cellulitis and lamellar keratitis and he also regained his vision with topical steroid treatment.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Lamellar keratitis does not always occur early following LASIK and may be associated with orbital cellulitis.
