    Bilateral corneal flap dislocation occurred in a 52-year-old woman 20 years after LASIK surgery, without any trauma involved.

  • 2

    The patient presented with severe pain, vision loss, and corneal flap edema, leading to surgical intervention after conservative treatment failed.

  • 3

    Surgical procedures involved repositioning the corneal flaps and addressing underlying meibomian gland dysfunction to improve ocular health.

  • 4

    Post-operative recovery showed significant improvement in pain and vision, although visual acuity remained at 20/40 in both eyes.

    This case highlights the potential for late-onset flap dislocation after LASIK, emphasizing the need for awareness and timely intervention.
