Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Epithelial ingrowth is a common complication after laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis. Surgical treatment is required if there is glare, diminution of vision, significant astigmatism or flap melt. Apart from ocular surgeries, traumatic lamellar laceration of the cornea also causes EI in rare cases. After an extensive literature search, we came across only one reported cases of EI following traumatic lamellar laceration. In this paper, we present a case series of four patients with epithelial ingrowth after traumatic lamellar laceration of cornea and their long-term follow-ups.
