abstract="PURPOSE: To report a case of airbag induced corneal ectasia. METHODS: Case report. RESULTS: A patient 3 years post-LASIK developed bilateral corneal ectasia worse in the right eye following airbag deployment in a road traffic accident. At last follow up, best corrected vision was 20/40 with -4.00/-4.00x25 in the right eye and 20/25 with -1.25/-0.50x135 in the left eye. CONCLUSIONS: This is a rare presentation of trauma induced ectasia in a patient post-LASIK. It is possible that reduction in biomechanical integrity of the cornea from prior refractive surgery contributed to this presentation.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
