Molecular factors altered in corneas that develop haze post refractive surgery have been described, but pre-existing factors that predispose clinically normal corneas to aberrant fibrosis post surgery and the role of the corneal epithelium remains unknown. We analyzed the global gene expression in epithelium collected intraoperatively from subjects undergoing photorefractive keratectomy. Subjects were grouped...
