Alloplastic Implants in Non-Human Primates. II. Modification of Barraquer Microkeratome Fixation Ring for Use in Non-Human Primate Surgery

Abstract
The microkeratome designed by Jose Barraquer for use in keratomileusis and keratophakia was redesigned for use with the small non-human primate eye. This instrument gave accurate, reproducible lamellar sections that were within 0.03 mm of the predicted measurement. The ability to perform accurate anterior keratectomy is critical to the development of hydrogel keratophakia.
