Nd:YAG Laser Treatment for Epithelial Ingrowth After Laser Refractive Surgery.

摘要

Epithelial ingrowth under refractive surgery flaps occurs in primary treatment and in further flap lift. Nd:YAG treatment was first described in 2008. In the only series published to date, 100% of patients treated had topographic and symptomatic improvement. The authors pictorially illustrate two cases of epithelial ingrowth following laser in situ keratomileusis achieving complete symptomatic relief and marked microscopic improvement following Nd:YAG laser treatment.
