Epithelial Ingrowth After LASIK

Abstract

Cleaning the corneal interface and suturing the corneal flap was effective and appeared safe in treating epithelial ingrowth after LASIK, with an extremely low rate of regrowth. However, further prospective controlled studies with a longer follow-up are needed.
