Flap thickness accuracy: Comparison of 6 microkeratome models
JCRS MAY 2004
USA, AMO Amadeus, Bausch & Lomb Hansatome®, Moria Carriazo-Barraquer, Moria M2, Nidek MK2000, and Alcon Summit Krumeich-Barraquer. Conclusions: Device labeling did not necessarily represent the mean flap thickness obtained, nor was it uniform or consistent. Thinner corneas were associated with thinner flaps and thicker corneas with thicker flaps. In addition, first cuts were generally associated with thicker flaps when compared to second cuts in bilateral procedures.
