The comparison of tunnel corneal incision performed with femtosecond laser and keratome

Prediction of surgically induced astigmatism in manual and femtosecond laser-assisted clear corneal incisions

“…7 However, these incisions created with a keratome are poorly reproducible, with particular conditions, such as gapes, misalignment, Descemet detachment, and loss of coaptation. 8 CCIs created with femtosecond laser-assisted systems are more predictable, with less incidence of these particular features, 9,10 and avoiding the disadvantages of wound leakage by keratome incisions. 7 The results of the comparison of SIA for manual clear corneal incisions (M-CCIs) and femtosecond laser-assisted clear corneal incisions (F-CCIs) have been previously reported.…”
