| Popis: | Although less common with current surgical practices, corneal haze after PRK may still occur and require treatment. In addition, patients with corneal haze from procedures done in the past (RK or PRK before the use of mitomycin C) can present to the refractive surgeon with symptomatic corneal haze. Two-stage transepithelial PRK is a useful surgical technique for treating these patients [1, 2]. |
