متن کاملContralateral assessment of sub-Bowman keratomileusis (SBK) microkeratome suction duration on laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) flap characteristics
PURPOSE To describe the effect of prolonging the standard suction duration during laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and its effect on flap thickness and hinge length using sub-Bowman keratomileusis (SBK) microkeratome. METHODS Fifty-six eyes (28 patients) were included and divided into 2 groups; Group-A: eyes with flatter corneas (36 eyes, 18 patients) and mean keratometric readin...
