Thin flap laser in situ keratomileusis: Analysis of contrast sensitivity, visual, and refractive outcomes

Abstract

Thin flap LASIK is a safe technique to correct myopic defects since it blends the advantages of surface and lamellar procedures (minimal debilitation of corneal biomechanical architecture with the rapid and comfortable visual recovery of lamellar approaches). Moreover, it achieves excellent refractive outcomes, a lower rate of enhancements, and a good visual performance with better contrast sensitivity test results.
