title: Interface fluid syndrome after bioptics.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report an unusual case of interface fluid syndrome after refractive surgery.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 37-year-old man with high myopia underwent a planned bioptics procedure including creation of a corneal flap using a mechanical microkeratome and concurrent anterior chamber phakic intraocular lens implantation; excimer laser ablation was not performed at this time.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Postoperatively, the patient developed corneal edema and was referred to our department. Interface fluid syndrome was confirmed using optical coherence tomography; the mechanism was due to endothelial cell pump dysfunction.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This is the first report to document interface fluid syndrome following a planned bioptics procedure.
