OBJECTIVE: . To investigate the treatment of @entity1616 with flap melt after LASIK. @entity1 AND METHOD: Thirteen eyes of 13 @entity1 with @entity1616 and flap melt after LASIK were treated based on the thickness and the extent of melting of the flap. Nine eyes were treated by lifting the flap and scraping the epithelium in the interface. Three eyes underwent allogenic keratomileusis. The flap was removed in one eye. RESULTS: Recurrence occurred in 2 eyes treated by lifting the flap. The flaps, however, healed normally after retreatment. The grafts healed normally in the allogenic keratomileusis group, except for one eye in which the flap was lost. The corneal epithelium healed over the stromal bed after the flap was removed. Corneal haze of grade 2 was present at 6 months. The uncorrected visual acuity was between 0.3 and 1.0, and the best-corrected visual acuity lost 1 to 3 lines. CONCLUSIONS: Corneal @entity2543 with flap melt is a severe complication after LASIK. However, with proper treatment, vision can be salvaged in most cases.

The management of XXXX after laser in situ keratomileusis.
