Corneal flap thickness was determined by intraoperative pachymetry using an ultrasonic pachymeter.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n The mean corneal flap thickness was 138.95 \u00b1 21.6 \u03bcm (range: 75\u2013205 \u03bcm) with Moria blades and 115.07 \u00b1 16.0 \u03bcm (range: 70\u2013153 \u03bcm) with CLB blades, which is a significant difference (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < .001). The difference in flap thickness between the first and second eyes was not significant with the Moria blades (141.46 \u00b1 21.46 \u03bcm vs 136.45 \u00b1 21.55 \u03bcm,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = .965), but it was when the CLB blades were used (123.21 \u00b1 12.07 \u03bcm vs 106.93 \u00b1 15.51 \u03bcm;\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = .013).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n In LASIK surgery using a Moria M2 microkeratome, blades from different manufacturers may produce significantly different corneal flap thicknesses, as well as differences between the first and second eyes.<\/jats:p>\n \n [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging 2008;39:471\u2013475.]<\/jats:bold>\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3928\/15428877-20081101-19","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,3,16]],"date-time":"2009-03-16T15:26:54Z","timestamp":1237217214000},"page":"471-475","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Microkeratome Blades and Corneal Flap Thickness in LASIK"],"prefix":"10.3928","volume":"39","author":[{"given":"Chi-Wang","family":"Yau","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The Department of Ophthalmology Taipei, Taiwan."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Huey-Chuan","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Department of Ophthalmology Taipei, Taiwan."},{"name":"Mackay Memorial Hospital; and Mackay Medicine, Nursing and Management College, Taipei, Taiwan."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2308","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_1_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3928\/1081-597X-19980501-15"},{"key":"e_1_3_1_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0886-3350(01)01090-2"},{"key":"e_1_3_1_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0161-6420(00)00407-3"},{"key":"e_1_3_1_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3928\/1542-8877-19990501-05"},{"key":"e_1_3_1_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0161-6420(03)00786-3"},{"key":"e_1_3_1_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcrs.2004.01.017"},{"key":"e_1_3_1_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3928\/1081-597X-20010302-25"},{"key":"e_1_3_1_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcrs.2004.01.023"},{"key":"e_1_3_1_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0886-3350(99)00139-X"},{"key":"e_1_3_1_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0886-3350(00)00639-8"},{"key":"e_1_3_1_12_2","first-page":"93","volume-title":"Custom LASIK: Surgical Techniques and Complications","author":"Buratto L","year":"2003","unstructured":"Buratto L, Brint S, Salib G.
