Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* LASIK candidates treated with the Carriazo-Pendular microkeratome - 130 micron head

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Corneal flap thickness (micrometers) | 6 months postoperatively | Flap thickness was calculated by subtracting the preoperative central corneal thickness minus the intraoperative residual stromal thickness. All measurements were made using ultrasound pachymetry (non-interventional technique). |
