Abstract
Conclusions The 100 μm head of the Moria LSK-One manual microkeratome cut a very predictable flap thickness and diameter but with variable length hinges. This flap thickness predictability was superior to that in other series with thicker intended flaps cut with mechanical microkeratomes and is comparable to that reported with the IntraLase FS femtosecond laser. Visual recovery was rapid, epithelial risks minimal, efficiency superior, and cost nominal relative to femtosecond laser technology.Keywords
