Femtosecond Laser Versus Microkeratome in Creating Corneal Flaps in LASIK

NCT03484468 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 50

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Since the cornea is the main responsible for the refraction of the eye, as its refractive power is greater than 70% of the total refraction of the eye, so modification of its refractive properties are used to change the optical system of the eye. Hence, laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis has become the most commonly procedure used to correct the refractive errors of the eye. The most important step in laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis is the creation of the corneal flap, which its thickness may judge the whole outcome of the surgery . So trying to minimize the variation in the thickness of the resultant flap in comparison to what planned flap thickness preoperatively become our target.
