Risk for uveitis after laser in situ keratomileusis in patients positive for human leukocyte antigen-B27

The occurrence rate of post-LASIK AAU in the HLA-B27 positive population was not higher than the general incidence in a similar HLA-B27 population without previous LASIK. A previous episode of uveitis did not appear to increase the risk for uveitis after LASIK in HLA-B27 positive patients.
