A 28-year-old male underwent microkeratome assisted Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for, myopia. On postoperative day 1, patient had a large epithelial defect in OD. The corneal epithelial defect healed within 72 hours, but sub-optimal vision persisted. The patient was referred for further management to us. On evaluation, patient had non-healing of flap margin at 5 o'clock. Fluoroscein stain revealed no corneal epithelial defect, but a large pool of dye beneath the LASIK flap. A clinical diagnosis of non-adherence of LASIK flap was considered. Application of bandage contact lens was done. LASIK flap completely healed in 1 week.
