Abstract:
Epithelial ingrowth is a common complication of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). The cause is thought to be postoperative invasion of surface epithelial cells under the flap. We present a case of advanced epithelial cystic ingrowth that caused a profound reduction in visual acuity 6 months after a second LASIK enhancement.
