Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Case Description
Twelve years after receiving laser in situ keratomileusis, a 34-year-old man presented with blurred vision and photophobia from a tree branch–related injury 3 years earlier. Examination showed flap dehiscence and severe epithelial ingrowth; surgical treatment was planned. During the procedure, the flap was lifted, epithelial cells were removed, the flap was repositioned, and a suture was placed. After 11 months, no epithelial ingrowth was present and the uncorrected distance visual acuity was 20/20. To our knowledge, this case represents the longest known interval between traumatic flap dehiscence and surgical removal of epithelial ingrowth.
