Abstract
A 36-year-old man with persistent corneal haze had multiple unsuccessful conventional treatments including 8 rounds of phototherapeutic keratectomy with mitomycin-C, several superficial keratectomies, and the use of thiotepa drops. After 8 years of ineffective treatments, femtosecond laser–assisted superficial anterior lamellar keratoplasty (ALK) was used as a treatment option. More than 6 months postoperatively, the patient’s haze had resolved and showed no signs of recurrence. Superficial ALK is a viable option for patients with persistent corneal haze that has been resistant to and has recurred with conventional therapies.
