Bowman Keratomileusis: Better than Laser Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK)?
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.

Posterior corneal surface stability after femtosecond laser-assisted keratomileusis [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to evaluate posterior corneal surface variation after femtosecond laser-assisted keratomileusis in patients with myopia and myopic astigmatism. Patients were evaluated by corneal tomography preoperatively and at 1, 6, and 12
