Incidence and Prevention of Epithelial Growth Within the Interface After Laser In Situ Keratomileusis

Abstract

Irrigating, wiping the stromal interface with sponges. aspirating irrigation fluid and debris with a suctioning lid speculum, and use of a bandage contact lens for the first day after surgery during LASIK and LASIK enhancement may markedly reduce the incidence of epithelial growth within the interface.
