Histopathologic Analysis of Explanted KAMRA Corneal Inlays Demonstrating Adherent Fibroconnective Tissue Scar Formation

Conclusions: Corneal inlay implantation can lead to the formation of an adherent fibroconnective tissue membrane, suggesting keratocyte-to-myofibroblast transdifferentiation and reactive fibroconnective tissue scar formation that could potentially impact visual potential. Prospective patients should be counseled regarding the risk of this complication, as this may be associated with some risk of incomplete reversibility of the procedure.Ocul Oncol Pathol
