Prophylactic use of mitomycin-C in the management of a buttonholed LASIK flap.

We report a case in which prophylactic mitomycin-C (MMC) was used to prevent haze and scarring after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in an eye with a previous laser in situ keratomileusis flap buttonhole. During the patient's primary procedure, a 3.5 mm central buttonhole was created during the microkeratome pass.
