Intraoperative optical coherence tomography-guided management of post-laser-assisted keratomileusis epithelial ingrowth.

We describe a modified technique of intraoperative optical coherence tomography (iOCT)-guided removal of post-laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) epithelial ingrowth with interface ethyl alcohol and mitomycin C application to prevent a recurrence. Epithelial ingrowth was visualized as hyperreflective deposits in the interface on iOCT, and the location and extent were noted at the beginning of the procedure. A simple dimple-down maneuver was performed to help identify the circumference of the LASIK flap.

Intraoperative posterior polar cortical disc defect: sign of intact posterior capsule.

Setting: Rajendra Prasad Centre for Ophthalmic Sciences, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India.

Design: Prospective case series.
