AB  - Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) with mitomycin-C (MMC) was performed in 2 
      patients with visually significant, complicated laser in situ keratomileusis flap 
      striae. These striae had been resistant to multiple treatments, including 
      stretching, suturing, and PRK. The visual symptoms in both patients resolved 
      after PRK with MMC, and both patients were stable 1 year later. Wavefront-guided 
      PRK with MMC may be a viable treatment for patients who have complicated flap 
      striae resistant to standard measures.
