Pilot Safety Study of a Microfabricated Device for Anterior Stromal Puncture to Treat Corneal Epithelial Disease in the Optical Axis.

Micropuncture of the cornea using the "plexitome" device does not create optically evident anterior stromal scarring after treatment. Micropuncture using the device may be an effective way of treating RCE and other corneal manifestations of EBMD in the optical axis, which is not currently possible using standard anterior stromal puncture methods.
