Epithelial ingrowth following small incision lenticule extraction

A 27-year-old female patient came for a routine postoperative check-up, with a history of bilateral ReLEx small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) surgery done 1.5 years back. On examination, epithelial ingrowth was noticed in the left eye at 8–9'o'clock position. Topography showed exce...

description A 27-year-old female patient came for a routine postoperative check-up, with a history of bilateral ReLEx small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) surgery done 1.5 years back. On examination, epithelial ingrowth was noticed in the left eye at 8–9'o'clock position. Topography showed excess flattening in the area of ingrowth. Anterior Segment OCT showed hyper-reflectivity and was measured to be at a depth of 120 microns from the corneal surface. As the ingrowth appeared non-progressive, with no involvement of the pupillary axis and no visual complaints, no active intervention was done. Nonetheless, treatment options available include mechanical scraping and Nd:YAG laser procedure.
