Methods: 31 eyes of 31 cases of corneal epithelial ingrowth after LASIK surgery in patients with the application of 0.2g / L MMC, Postoperative uncorrected visual acuity and corneal flap healing. Results: The mean uncorrected visual acuity after 6mo of 0.82 + -0.19, compared with preoperative significantly improved (P lt;0.05. most of the corneal flap healed well, 4 cases of corneal flap edge melting, but no significant effect on central vision. Conclusion: In LASIK surgery after implantation of corneal epithelial application of 0.2g / L MMC can achieve good clinical efficacy. [Keywords:] excimer laser in situ keratomileusis, epithelial ingrowth, mitomycin C Abstract AIM: To observe the clinical effect of using mitomycin C (MMC) during surgical treatment of epithelial ingrowth after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). METHODS: MMC 0.2g / L was applied in surgical treatment of epithelial ingrowth after LASIK on 31 patients (31 eyes). The uncorrected visual acuity and the recovery of corneal flap were observed after surgery.RESULTS: The uncorrected visual acuity increased after surgery (P lt;0.05) and was 0.82 + -0.19 6 months posto peratively. Majority of corneal flaps recovered well. Fringe of the flap melted in 4 eyes, but central visual acuity had no effect. CONCLUSION: Excellent outcome was found in the surgical treatment of epithelial ingrowth after LASIK by using 0.2g / L MMC. ?r KEYWORDS: LASIK; epithelial ingrowth; mitomycin C 0 Introduction Corneal refractive surgery is currently the mains
