23.7 Case 7: Epithelial ingrowth after keratomileusis in situ
by Prof. Renato Ambrósio Jr
A 41-year-old male patient with a history of in situ keratomileusis in 1991 and one re-treatment for
removal of epithelial ingrowth asked for a second opinion.
The slit lamp examination (Figure 205) revealed epithelial ingrowth, under a moderately deep cap,
reaching the center of the pupil area in OD.
Epithelial ingrowth was also easily seen in the Pentacam® Tomography (Figure 206).
