The microkeratome market consists of devices used to create a precise lamellar flap in the cornea during laser eye surgery procedures such as LASIK. A microkeratome features an oscillating steel blade that cuts a thin flap in the cornea, which is then folded back to access the areas beneath for laser ablation to modify refractive errors. Traditional microkeratomes use a mechanical microkeratome containing a diamond precision blade to create uniform predictable flaps. Newer technology ... Read more
