Loss of corneal clarity (haze) after refractive surgery can be a serious condition leading to decrease in VA, myopic regression, and irregular astigmatism. Haze is due to abnormal collagen deposition and decreased corneal refractivity. Most cases of post-PRK haze are clinically insignificant and self-resolving. Haze can also be seen following LASIK, epi-LASIK, and LASEK. Adequate follow-up post-op can detect and help prevent development of haze. MMC can adequately prevent and also treat haze after refractive surgery.
