Corneal Flap Measurements in Laser in situ Keratomileusis Using the Moria M2 Automated Microkeratome

Abstract

Although the standard deviation of the flap thickness was relatively small, remarkable individual variation was noted. Therefore, the intraoperative calculation of the remaining stromal bed is recommended. Furthermore, the consideration of central corneal thickness, patient age, and preoperative keratometry are helpful parameters to avoid too deep ablation.
