Marginal Sterile Corneal Infiltrates After LASIK and Corneal Procedures
| Resumo: | [Excerpt] Currently, there are three key techniques to correct refractive defects in the cornea: LASIK, PRK, and SMILE. Laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) remains as the first choice for the correction of refractive errors in the majority of patients [1]. Clinical advantages of LASIK over surface ablation techniques are related to the maintenance of an intact healthy epithelium over the central cornea after the lamellar cut is performed to expose the corneal stroma for laser ablation.
