| Summary: |
The current incidence of epithelial ingrowth after LASIK
varies from 1% to 12%. After second procedure, it increases up to 32%. Known risk factors
for this complication include epithelial defects at the time of surgery, or a history of
recurrent corneal erosions, corneal basement membrane epithelial dystrophy, history of
ingrowth in the other eye, hyperopic LASIK correction, flap instability, repeated LASIK
surgeries. We performed 200 LASIK procedures. In 12 patients we found epithelial ingrowth.
The follow up period was 2 years. We applied treatment: lifting and manual removal in 7
cases, phototherapeutic keratectomy in 3 cases. The rest of cases were under observation.
Epithelial ingrowth is a relatively rare complication, following LASIK. |
