All patients were followed up for 9 months after surgery, and the subjective satisfaction of the patient, an independent observer, and surgeon was graded as poor, good, and excellent.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The mean age of the patients was 29.53 \u00b1 13.82 years (8\u201356 years). The most common cause of corneal opacity was healed keratitis with (6\/30) or without (3\/30) adherent leukoma, trauma-induced ocular disfigurement (7\/30), and bullous keratopathy (6\/30). All residents reported that feed-back images on i-OCT were \u201chelpful\u201d in all eyes and \u201cvery helpful\u201d in eyes with corneal thinning, stromal scarring, adherent leukoma, bullous keratopathy, and hypotony. The mean depth of lamellar dissection was 51.16% \u00b14.62% of preoperative corneal thickness. The cosmetic results as perceived by the patient, an independent observer, and the surgeon were excellent and good in 23 and 7, 26 and 4, and 20 and 10 patients, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>I-KTP may be employed as a primary method of cosmetic correction of unsightly corneal scars.
