Makovkin E.M., Kuznetsova O.S. THE RESULTS OF LASIK ON THIN AND ULTRA-THIN CORNEAThere were compared the results of 113 LASIK procedures (57 patients) performed on thin and ultra-thin cornea. It was revealed that application of mechanical longitudinal microkeratome "Moria" One-Use-Plus SBK ensures consistent and precise creation of a thin corneal flap which makes excimer laser surgery safe and effective even when dealing with thin and ultrathin corneas.Key words: thin cornea, corneal flap, LASIK, One-Use-Plus SBK.
