Cornea
-
To describe a case of full-thickness corneal laceration and intraocular foreign body in an eye that underwent laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). ⋯ Penetrating trauma of the cornea did not lead to flap-related complications in this post-LASIK eye.

Care must be taken to try not to manipulate or lift the LASIK flap during corneal laceration repair.
