Yet it is clear that a theory describing the evolution of a surface should at the same time describe the properties of the bulk buried underneath.

متن کاملFemtosecond Laser-Assisted LASIK Flap Complications.
PURPOSE To discuss intraoperative and postoperative femtosecond laser-assisted LASIK flap complications and their management. METHODS Review of published literature. RESULTS Flap creation is a critical step in LASIK. The femtosecond laser has improved the overall predictability and safety of the lamellar incision, but complications can still occur during or after flap creation. Although man...
