title: Psoriatic intraepithelial keratitis after laser in situ keratomileusis treatment.
abstract: A 36-year-old woman with chronic psoriasis developed blurring of vision and intraepithelial infiltrates within the flap in the left eye concurrent with the appearance of acute psoriatic generalized skin lesions 14 days after bilateral laser in situ keratomileusis. After treatment with topical antibiotic and steroid agents and topical artificial tears, the intraepithelial infiltrates within the flap completely resolved. The final uncorrected distance visual acuity was 1.0 in both eyes, along with complete resolution of the dermatologic psoriatic lesions.
