CONICAL RINGS FOR APPLYING SUCTION TO THE CORNEA IN THE COURSE OF LASIK KERATECTOMIES

摘要

The present invention relates to the field of medicine. More specifically, the present invention relates to devices of the conical-ring type for use in the area of ophthalmology particularly for implementation in microkeratomes and for providing rapid, effective and safe assistance in LASIK-type refractive treatments (laser-assisted intracorneal polishing). This is possible given the fact that the conical rings of the present invention have specific technical features of conicity, aperture and dimensions that notably facilitate manipulation of the microkeratome on the part of the instrument handler and significantly reduce patient discomfort in LASIK-type treatments.
