Abstract
Diffuse lamellar keratitis (DLK) is a sterile inflammation after laser in situ keratomileusis. Central toxic keratopathy is characterized by noninflammatory central corneal opacification with a significant hyperopic shift. The cause of central toxic keratopathy is unknown. Fibromyalgia is a widespread, chronic pain disorder that includes a complex constellation of somatic and emotional symptoms. Patients often complain of dry eye sensations. Recent studies have highlighted a reduced corneal sensitivity in patients with fibromyalgia. There could be a relation between fibromyalgia, diffuse lamellar keratitis, and central toxic keratopathy. Some precautions may be used before LASIK in patients with fibromyalgia.
