PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of transepithelial phototherapeutic keratectomy/photorefractive keratectomy (PTK/PRK) with prophylactic mitomycin-C for the treatment of refractive errors and maintenance of corneal clarity following flap complications in laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK).
SETTING: Outpatient tertiary care center, Chicago, Illinois, USA.
METHODS: Ten eyes of 10 patients with LASIK flap complications had transepithelial PTK/PRK for correction of ametropia. Mitomycin-C 0.02% was applied to the stroma for 2 minutes following laser ablation. Postoperative uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), refractions, and slitlamp examinations were obtained.
RESULTS: Preoperatively, the mean UCVA was 20/400 (range 20/40 to counting fingers), the mean BSCVA was 20/28.5, and the spherical equivalent refractive errors ranged from +4.00 to -10.75 diopters (D). After the procedure, the mean UCVA was 20/28, the mean BSCVA was 20/21, and the spherical equivalent refractive errors ranged from +0.37 to -1.00 D. The mean follow-up ranged from 8 to 28 months. No patient experienced delayed reepithelialization, haze, or other signs of toxicity.
CONCLUSION: Mitomycin-C can be a useful adjunctive therapy for the prevention of haze when applying surface excimer laser therapy to a cornea following LASIK flap complications.
