title: Stage III diffuse lamellar keratitis following conductive keratoplasty over a LASIK flap.
abstract: A 48-year-old man who had conductive keratoplasty (CK) for consecutive hyperopia following myopic laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) developed progressive diffuse lamellar keratitis. To our knowledge, this is the first report of CK after LASIK that required surgical intervention for interface inflammation.
