Abstract

Refractive eye surgery is a safe technique as far as visual pathway is concerned. A 39-year patient
Complains from diplopia & blurring vision on his second refractive surgery attempt, was referred to
visual electrophysiology diagnostic Laboratory of Basir clinic for possible visual pathway disorder.
this report explains the visual evoked findings and magnetics resonance imaging of the Patient
which indicated a comorbidity of refractive and visual pathway disorders. However, at first glance it
considered as side effect of surgery

Keywords:
