PURPOSE
To report the histological findings of four eyes of three patients who underwent epi-LASIK treatment for the correction of low myopia.
METHODS
The epithelial sheets were harvested either immediately after separation (one eye) or were accidentally dislocated and harvested from the operative eyes 24 hours after treatment (three eyes). All sheets underwent optical and transmission electron microscopy.
RESULTS
Histological evaluation showed that the majority of the epithelial cells were morphologically normal in all examined specimens.
CONCLUSIONS
Histological examination of specimens in four eyes showed that 24 hours after mechanical separation the epithelial cells' morphology was close to normal.
