Abstract
There are very few reported cases of post-SLT corneal edema and these typically resolve without long-term complications. The following two cases represent an uncommon adverse event of irregular corneal astigmatism despite resolution of the corneal edema. The exact mechanism of these corneal effects is not known. Practitioners should inform patients of this rare, but possible complication following SLT and consider extra precautions in patients susceptible to corneal edema.
