title: Automated lamellar keratoplasty. American Academy of Ophthalmology.
abstract: 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.
