Abstract

Sir, I note that in their paper describing the treatment of recurrent erosions of the cornea, l Bernauer et al. dismiss mechanical debridement of the cornea as a method of treatment of recalcitrant cases. However, they may have proved its efficacy. Before they can claim that excimer laser treatment has any added benefit, they really need to do a controlled trial to compare debridement followed by laser, with debridement alone.
