Rare but Serious: Infectious Keratitis After Femtosecond Laser–Assisted Arcuate Keratotomies in Cataract Surgery: A Case Series and Review of Literature

Infectious keratitis following FLACS-AK is a rare but potentially sight-threatening complication with variable onset and severity. Penetrating arcuate keratotomies may pose a higher risk of infection compared to intrastromal incisions, underscoring the need for careful surgical planning and long-term postoperative surveillance. Surgeons should therefore consider performing an intrastromal incision or, when applicable, a different method for arcuate correction.
