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.
