The scientific objective of this study is to evaluate the postoperative incidence of corneal reaction in patients treated with low dose Mitomycin C, immediately following femtosecond flap creation (LASIK correction if needed), and before implantation with the Raindrop corneal inlay in the non-dominant eye. The postoperative incidence of haze, visible by broad tangential illumination of the slit lamp, is known to adversely impact the safety and efficacy of the Raindrop corneal inlay. Three main strategies have been employed to minimize haze incidence after surgery: (i) perfection of the surgical technique, (ii) deeper implantation in the cornea, and (iii) extension of the steroid regimen after surgery. Haze has also been observed after another type of corneal refractive procedure, Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK). Several prospective studies have shown that Mitomycin C, applied immediately following the PRK laser procedure, is effective in reducing the postoperative incidence of haze.
