Abstract
Journal of Refractive Surgery | PURPOSE:To discuss current applications and advantages of femtosecond laser technology over traditional manual techniques and related unique complications in corneal refractive surgical procedures, including LASIK flap creation, intracorneal ring segment implantation, astigmatic keratotomy, presbyopic treatments, and intrastromal lenticule procedures.METHODS:Literature review.RESULTS:From itsKeywords
