Abstract
The similarity in the general time pattern of PAI-2 after PRK and LASIK suggests commonality in the enzymatic control response to corneal surgical wounding. Taken in the context of previous work, the observed levels of PAI-2 concentration in eyes with and without opacification suggest that in the postsurgical period, PAI-2 is not the controlling mechanism for the later development of corneal opacification and haze.
