Abstract
We present a case of dense, visually significant reticular haze that developed approximately 17 months after uneventful laser-assisted subepithelial keratectomy with mitomycin-C (MMC). The patient was successfully treated with manual debridement coupled with phototherapeutic keratectomy and intraoperative MMC.Keywords
