Abstract
Journal of Refractive Surgery | PURPOSE:To evaluate the feasibility of femtosecond laser–induced lenticule transplantation in the rabbit cornea and to observe the relative histologic characteristics of corneal tissue and nerve repair after transplantation.METHODS:Eight healthy, purebred, New Zealand white rabbits underwent femtosecond laser small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) surgery in the right eye. Lenticules wereThis publication has 22 references indexed in Scilit:
