It is hypothesized based on these cases, and the previous immunohistochemistry of other investigators, that myofibroblast precursors, such as fibrocytes or corneal fibroblasts, that enter the subepithelial space are driven to develop into myofibroblasts, which slowly proliferate and extend the fibrosis, by transforming growth factor-beta from epithelium and tears that passes through the defective epithelial basement membrane. These myofibroblasts and the disordered collagens, and other extracellular matrix components they produce, make up the subepithelial opacity characteristic of SND. Nodules are larger accumulations of myofibroblasts and disordered extracellular matrix. If the injury is associated with damage to the underlying Bowman's layer and stroma, as in LASIK flap generation, then the myofibroblasts and fibrosis can extend into Bowman's layer and the underlying anterior stroma.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>SND fibrosis often extends into Bowman's layer and the anterior stroma if there are associated Bowman's defects, such as incisions or lacerations. In the latter cases, SND frequently cannot be removed by simple scrape and peel, as typically performed for most common SND cases, but can be trimmed to remove the offending tissue.
