We determined the “normal” central corneal thickness (CCT) value in human corneas based
on reported literature values for within-study average CCT values, and used this as a …

aberrations of the eye and changes in contrast sensitivity by conventional laser in situ …

Eighty-five cases of post laser in situ keratomileusis ectasia were reviewed and analyzed.
Cases of keratoconus or forme fruste keratoconus were eliminated; many remaining case …

PURPOSE: Corneal lamellar refractive surgery for myopia reduces the risk of corneal haze
