To report a case of premacular subhyaloid hemorrhage following laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK).
Case report.
The subhyaloid hemorrhage did not resolve over 1 month of observation, necessitating Nd:YAG posterior hyaloidotomy.
The LASIK procedure can be associated with postoperative subhyaloid hemorrhage, presumably from rapid release of the microkeratome vacuum pressure.
