An experimental model of mycobacterial infection under corneal flaps [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2004 In order to develop a new experimental animal model of infection with Mycobacterium chelonae in keratomileusis, we conducted a double-blind prospective study on 24 adult male New Zealand rabbits. One eye of each rabbit was submitted to automatic lamellar

Bowman Keratomileusis: Better than Laser Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK)?
Delhi Journal of Ophthalmology, 2012 The most important factor in undertaking a refractive procedure is that we need to be within the stroma to make it comfortable to the patient. But, from a biomechanical standpoint, we need to be as superficial as we can.

The assessment of the stability of the corneal structure after LASIK correction of myopia by different optical zone diameters [PDF]
Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2016 Background/Aim. Enlargement of optical zone (OZ) diameter during laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) correction of myopia postoperatively improves the optical outcome, however, it also leads to the increased stroma tissue consumption ...

Complications of laser-in-situ-keratomileusis
Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2002 Laser-in-situ-keratomileusis (LASIK) has become a popular technique of refractive surgery because of lower postoperative discomfort, early visual rehabilitation and decreased postoperative haze.
