TI  - Hypopyon uveitis following LASIK in a patient with ulcerative colitis.
PG  - 589-91
LID - 10.3928/1081597X-20120722-02 [doi]
AB  - PURPOSE: To present a case of unilateral hypopyon uveitis that began 15 days 
      after uneventful bilateral LASIK in a 24-year-old man with an undisclosed history 
      of ulcerative colitis. METHODS: Case report. RESULTS: The hypopyon uveitis 
      completely resolved after treatment with aggressive topical and oral steroid 
      agents in combination with topical antibiotic coverage. CONCLUSIONS: Although 
      rare, visually significant hypopyon uveitis may arise after LASIK in the setting 
      of ulcerative colitis and positive human leukocyte antigen (HLA) B27. Early 
      recognition and treatment can result in an excellent outcome. The exact 
      relationship between hypopyon uveitis and LASIK is impossible to ascertain.
