A. John Kanellopoulos, MD, presents a 35-year-old male with a corneal injury from a tree branch, which resulted in an irregular astigmatism and epithelial cyst. The cyst was removed and a manual triangular flap was secured with ocular sealant. The patient's UDVA improved from 20/200 to 20/50 and CDVA improved from 20/200 to 20/25. At the 1-year follow up, there was no more ingrowth. Surgical Management of Epithelial Ingrowth in visually debilitating complex penetrating corneal trauma
