Abstract | PURPOSE: METHODS: Case report and literature review. RESULTS: A 48-year-old Taiwanese man presented in November 2005, 6 years after bilateral myopic LASIK. He complained of loss of uncorrected distance visual acuity that was worse in the left eye. The patient did not report glare, halos, or other visual aberrations. Preoperative best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) was 20/25 OU, with a manifest refraction of -14 D OU. In November 2005, uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) was 20/40 OD and 20/50 OS, and BSCVA was 20/25 in each eye with a manifest refraction of -1.00 sphere OD and -1.75 -1.25 x 115 OS. Slit-lamp examination was remarkable for several subtle, small, gray corneal opacities present throughout the corneal stroma. Confocal microscopy revealed refractile bodies within swollen keratocytes and normal surrounding stromal mileu. The clinical and confocal appearance was consistent with Fleck corneal dystrophy. CONCLUSION:
