Methods: Case report. Results: A 64-year-old woman with a history of dendritic keratitis underwent Nd:YAG laser peripheral iridotomy and developed geographic epithelial keratitis with stromal keratouveitis. Culture of a corneal swab grew herpes simplex virus type I. Keratouveitis subsided with acyclovir and corticosteroid therapy. Conclusions: Recurrent herpetic keratouveitis may be induced by YAG laser iridotomy. |
