Abstract
Purpose: To present a case of anterior scarring in an epikeratophakia lenticule and its partially successful treatment with the excimer laser.
Methods: Excimer laser phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) was used to reduce corneal scarring in an epikeratophakia lenticule.
Results: Visual acuity improved after two sessions of PTK.
Conclusions: PTK is an alternative to epikeratophakia lenticule removal.
