RESUMEN

A 37-year-old woman had bilateral hyperopic laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Six months postoperatively, an epithelial pigmentation ring pattern was identified on both corneas. The appearance of the ring pattern was similar to the iron deposits of the Fleischer ring of keratoconus. While corneal iron deposits in various patterns have been reported after other forms of ocular therapeutic and refractive surgery, this is the first report of the association between hyperopic LASIK and a corneal iron line, which we have called the "pseudo-Fleischer ring."
