title: Visually significant haze after retreatment with photorefractive keratectomy with mitomycin-C following laser in situ keratomileusis.
abstract: Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) with the adjunctive use of mitomycin-C (MMC) for the treatment of residual refractive error after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) has been shown to be safe and effective, with no occurrences of visually significant postoperative haze reported. We report a case of visually significant haze after PRK with MMC for residual myopia following LASIK.
