Automated lamellar keratoplasty. American Academy of Ophthalmology.
The Academy finds in its preliminary review of keratomileusis in situ and ALK reason for more rigorous evaluation of the safety, refractive accuracy, stability, and optical quality of these microkeratome-based procedures. To understand these issues more thoroughly, the ophthalmic community needs continued access to peer-review literature of sufficient quality to answer the questions posed earlier in this preliminary assessment.
