Abstract:Purpose. To rationale experimentally the use of an excimer laser for forming an ultrathin transplant for posterior lamellar keratoplasty. Materials and methods. Atomic force microscopy was used for examination of 10 samples. Control group was 5 corneal flaps obtained by mechanical microkeratome (Moria SLK-2, France). Main group — 5 corneal flaps, obtained by microkeratome and underwent photoablation by “Microscan 500” (Optosystems, Troick, RF) excimer laser at 50 um depth. For quantification of endothelial lo… Show more
