Abstract
Purpose: We report a case of post-traumatic dislocated corneal lamellar flap with diffuse lamellar keratitis following ocular blunt injury without receiving previous refractive surgery procedure before.Methods: Retrospective case report.Results: The dislocated lamellar flap was surgically repositioned. DLK was treated with intensive steroid regimen. The best corrected visual acuity of the injured eye was 20/30 after treatment.Conclusion: DLK may be caused by blunt ocular injury even without previous refractive surgery. The proper reposition of traumatic lamellar flap could reach good outcomes.
