[Corneal complications after PRK for hyperopia].

We report the case of a patient with epithelial hyperplasia, peripheral haze and regression after transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) for hyperopia outside the limits set by the committee for refractive surgery (KRC). Retreatment was performed on both eyes 1 year postoperatively and later an ablation on the left eye due to scarring. Regardless of these procedures haze, scarring and regression appeared again in both eyes. The patient will currently retain a permanent reduction of visual acuity as another treatment of hyperopia outside the KRC recommendations should not be performed due to the high risk of haze, scarring and regression.
