title: Localized flap melt after Nd-YAG laser treatment in recurrent post-LASIK epithelial ingrowth.
abstract: Neodymium: Yttrium-Aluminum-Garnet (Nd-YAG) laser treatment of epithelial ingrowth was found promising with high success rates in cases of primary post-LASIK epithelial ingrowth. However, the application range of this procedure is not well-known. For the first time, the authors report the outcome of a patient treated with Nd-YAG laser for multiple recurrences of post-laser in situ keratomileusis epithelial ingrowth.
