title: [Quality of corneal incisions of ceramic and diamond blades. Comparison in optic microscopy].
abstract: Six radial keratotomies were performed using a ceramic blade on corneas obtained from cadavers. These incisions were compared by light microscopy with 6 sections performed on the same corneas using a diamond blade. Microscopic examination showed no significant difference in the quality of the incision between the two blades studied.
