Epithelial ingrowth within the interface following traumatic corneal lamellar laceration.

Modified femtosecond laser-assisted sutureless anterior lamellar keratoplasty.

A variation of the femtosecond laser-assisted sutureless anterior lamellar keratoplasty technique using a femtosecond laser incision for surgical management of anterior corneal disease is described. Six patients with corneal scars were treated with the laser to create a horizontal lamellar bed interface in the cornea of the donor and recipient eyes, with a manual partial-thickness vertical trep...

LASIK Interface-Captured Foreign Bodies after Mild Traumatic Corneal Scratch without Flap Displacement

A 38-year-old woman developed diffusely distributed opacities with crystalline materials in the laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) interface of her eye after she was scratched by a sprig during mountain climbing. No sign of flap displacement was noted. Despite two days of topical and systemic antibiotics therapy, the corneal infiltration with interface opacities persisted. The following day, ...

Epithelial ingrowth cells after LASIK/ALTK (automated lamellar therapeutic keratoplasty): are they corneal epithelial stem cells?

Case reports and small case series: late dislocation of a LASIK flap caused by a fingernail.

Report of a Case. A 28-year-old white woman came to our casualty service following uncomplicated, bilateral LASIK performed elsewhere. Preoperative refraction was −2.25 diopters (D)OD and −3.75 DOS. Postoperatively she achieved an unaided visual acuity of 20/20 OU. Ten months after surgery, her fingernail brushed the left eye while she was removing a sweater, resulting in painful displacement o...

Case Report: Traumatic Intracorneal Epithelial Ingrowth

A 20-year old male patient sustained trauma to the right eye by stone 7 years prior to presentation. The patient's right eye had corneal scar, sectoral traumatic cataract and chronic retinal detachment in which retinal detachment repair was done. Seven years later, the patient presented with intracorneal epithelial ingrowth, which was confirmed by histopathology. Conjuctival peritomy was done s...
