Transepithelial, Topography-guided Ablation in the Treatment of Visual Disturbances in LASIK Flap or Interface Complications.

Abstract

Corneal regularization and removal of the underlying flap or interface pathology by cTEN ablation appears to be an effective treatment for LASIK flap or interface complications associated with visually disturbing irregular astigmatism and light scattering in cases with sufficient residual stromal thickness.
