Abstract. Purpose:To describe recurrence after phototherapeutic keratectomy for Avellino corneal dystrophy. Cases and Method:This retrospective study was made on 108 eyes of 75 patients who received phototherapeutic keratectomy for Avellino corneal dystrophy during the past 9 years 8 months and who were followed up for one year or longer. Results:Corneal dystrophy recurred in 44 eyes(41%)after an average of 46 months. There were three types of corneal opacity:diffuse opacity adjacent to area of ablation in 29 eyes(66%), diffuse opacity within area of ablation 12 eyes(27%), and granular opacity in the area of ablation in 3 eyes(7%). Conclusion:Phototherapeutic keratectomy is effective for Avellino corneal dystrophy but recurrence may occur. There are three types of recurrence of corneal opacity. Recurrence may or may not induce impaired visual acuity.
