We report two cases that underwent corneal inlay implantation under a femtosecond flap. The first case had no complications during the postoperative period. Pentacam maps remained stable over time: corneal densitometry (CD) values had less than 2 units of change across visits up to 3 years. Axial/sagittal topography maps showed a stable Kmax (∼47 D), i.e., less than 1 D change between visits. The second case developed haze at 8 months postoperatively. CD increased by more than 4 units from 3 to 8 M and Kmax increased by 2.6 D. The patient was prescribed steroids and 1 month later the haze regressed, resulting in pre-haze CD and Kmax values, similar to the ones at 3 months.
