Herpes endotheliitis following laser-assisted < em > in situ < /em > keratomileusis and photorefractive keratectomy

We demonstrate the importance of an appropriately thorough preoperative evaluation and further workup of any corneal abnormalities, even if such findings initially appear inconsequential.PMID:37252172 | PMC:PMC10220447 | DOI:10.4103/tjo.TJO-D-22-00156
