Purpose: To describe a case of interface fluid formation caused by uncontrollable intraocular pressure (IOP) 16 years after laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) surgery secondary to Posner Schlossman Syndrome (PSS). Observations: After trabeculectomy operation, IOP of the operative eye was back to normal, and the interface fluid refluxed over time. Conclusions: and importance: Interface Fluid Syndrome can be a potential lifelong complication after LASIK surgery. PSS patients post-LASIK require early IOP control. Keywords: Interface fluid syndrome, Posner-Schlossman syndrome, Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis
