Comparison of real-time intraocular pressure during laser in situ keratomileusis and epithelial laser in situ keratomileusis in porcine eyes

摘要

In this prospective study, a Moria microkeratome was used in 1 eye (LASIK group) and an Epi-K epikeratome in the other eye (epi-LASIK group) to create a lamellar corneal flap and an epithelial flap, respectively, in freshly enucleated porcine eyes. The IOP changes during the procedures were recorded by direct cannulation using a reusable blood pressure transducer connected to the anterior chamber.
