title: In vivo confocal microscopy study of ocular surface neoplasia manifesting after radial keratotomy and laser in situ keratomileusis.
abstract: We report a case of ocular surface neoplasia in a patient with history of radial keratotomy and laser in situ keratomileusis. In vivo confocal microscopy of the cornea was useful to evaluate whether the incisions and scars of previous refractive surgeries were involved and to establish appropriate therapy.
