A 48-year-old woman had bilateral wavefront-guided laser in situ keratomileusis for myopia with IntraLase corneal flap creation. In the right eye cavitation bubbles were observed not only interface between and bed but also anterior chamber disappearing after 30 minutes. After procedure, uncorrected visual acuity is 20/25 both eyes; specular microscopy shows normal hexagonal cells density. Although no postoperative complications our case, further follow-up needed to examine long-term effect of this phenomenon IntraLase.
