Abstract:
Laser in-situ keratomileusis is an increasingly popular technique for the correction of refractive errors that was initially described by Pallikaris in 1990. It involves the excimer laser ablation of corneal stroma beneath a hinged corneal flap that is created with a microkeratome. The purpose of this chapter is to report the LASIK surgical technique that has evolved at the Emory Vision Correction Center since 1995 when an investigation study of this technique for the correction of myopia began.
