Comparison between the real corneal ablation (Excimer Laser) and the theoretical (Munnerlyn’s Formula) and the residual corneal thickness after Lasik compared to safety limits by Pateras Evangelos and Kontogeorgou Evangelos

The purpose of this research is to compare the real corneal ablation (excimer Laser) with the theoretical (Munnerlyn’s Formula) and the residual corneal thickness after Lasik compared to safety limits.

Author study results of the ablation thickness with Excimer Laser Lasik refractive surgery compared between the theoretical Munnerlyn’s Formula and the one given by the excimer Laser correlated strong with correlation coefficient 0.9603. The RSB difference with a safety thickness limit of 300μm, ranged from 8.14μm to 190.28μm, with an average value of 74.84μm ± SD 41.18μm and a median of 74.10μm. which is crucial for refractive surgery safety.
