Corneal Regeneration After Photorefractive Keratectomy: A Review

Javier Tomás-Juan, Ane Murueta‐Goyena, Ludger Hanneken · 24 Oct 2014

Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) remodels corneal stroma to compensate refractive errors. The removal of epithelium and the ablation of stroma provoke the disruption of corneal nerves and a release of several peptides from tears, epithelium, stroma and nerves. A myriad of cytokines, growth factors, and matrix metalloproteases participate in the process of corneal wound healing. Their…
