We describe 2 women with high myopia of -12.0 and -18.0 diopters who presented with myopic macular hemorrhages 1 and 4 days, respectively, after being treated by laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). One hemorrhage was related to a pre-existing choroidal neovascularization and the other to the presence of lacquer cracks. The hemorrhages resolved but resulted in a permanent decrease in vision. A careful fundus examination should be conducted before performing LASIK in highly myopic patients. In cases of similar macular pathology, fluorescein angiography should be done before LASIK.
