Both minimally invasive, stroma-sparing methods were effective for the treatment of trauma-associated recurrent erosion. The ablation of Bowman's lamella or anterior stroma does not seem to be necessary. However, for basal membrane dystrophy, we recommend PTK after epithelial debridement for the partial ablation of Bowman's lamella.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
