Article Synopsis
- Femtosecond lasers are commonly used for LASIK flap creation, but the SCHWIND Carriazo-Pendular microkeratome presents a cost-effective alternative worth exploring.
- An experimental study evaluated the impact of different cutting parameters on LASIK cuts using this microkeratome on porcine eyes, assessing the results through scanning electron microscopy.
- Findings suggest that while cutting parameters like oscillation frequencies did not significantly affect quality, deeper cuts and an optimal oscillation/feed rate ratio improved cut smoothness and edge sharpness, confirming the microkeratome's safety and effectiveness as an option for LASIK flap creation.
