Epithelial ingrowth is a kind of epithelium-related complication that may occur after SMILE, which is associated with epithelial defects, incision tears, excessive surgical operation, etc. The visual acuity will be impaired when the visual axis is affected, or there is significant corneal astigmatism. Once epithelial ingrowth affects vision, the treatments should be performed in time. The definition, symptoms, physical signs, risk factors, grading, and treatments are described in this chapter.

Epithelial ingrowth is a kind of epithelium-related complication that may occur after SMILE, which is associated with epithelial defects, incision tears, excessive surgical operation, etc. The visual acuity will be impaired when the visual axis is affected, or there is significant corneal astigmatism. Once epithelial ingrowth affects vision, the treatments should be performed in time. The definition, symptoms, physical signs, risk factors, grading, and treatments are described in this chapter.
