Abstract
Low-dose MMC (0.002%) in eyes after LASEK results in less corneal haze than in eyes not receiving this agent. Concerns regarding the potential toxicity of MMC make a 10-fold less concentration more desirable in refractive surgery. Further comparative study of low- vs higher-dose MMC is recommended to characterize its clinical benefit fully.
