This closup slit-lamp microscope photo shows DLK of the cornea in a post-lasik eye. This particular scar doesn’t look much like the “Sands of the Saharra” scar you hear about, but occured by the same process … inflammation at the corneal flap interface.

To get a better idea of how this scar looks (this closeup may be hard to interpret out of context) check out our diffuse lamellar keratitis video from which this snapshot was taken.
