  Fig. 1 (A) White peripheral corneal infiltrates located from 3 to 9 o'clock, and a clear cornea between the infiltrates and limbus (2 days after uneventful laser epithelial keratomileusis). (B) Central epithelial defect separate from the infiltrates. (C) Complete resolution of infiltrates after treatment (3 weeks after uneventful laser epithelial keratomileusis). (D) Completely-healed corneal epithelial defect after treatment.
