Epithelial defect
|
| IN BRIEF |
|
An intra-operative complication where the epithelium suffers trauma during LASIK. This can be caused by abrasions from the microkeratome.
|
| |
| DISCUSSION |
|
Patients with loose epithelium are much more likely to experience epithelial defects and this is one of the reasons they should not have LASIK.
