"Eric D. Donnenfeld, MD: This is a case I have talked about before, but I think it makes a good teaching point so I?m going to talk about it again. A 45-year-old woman came in for routine LASIK. I?m doing my LASIK, I hand off the keratome, and they blow out the keratome. And suddenly there is no flap.
Now we?re looking for the flap, but we can?t find it. And all of you know how to find out if spaghetti is done. You throw it against the wall. If it sticks, it?s done. And that?s exactly what happened. The cornea ended up against the wall. We find it, but now it?s been sitting on the wall for about 5 minutes. What do you do next?
How would you manage this? My major concern is going to be infection with this having sat on the wall. What are you going to do with this flap to make certain the patient doesn?t get an infection?"
