This study identified and compared variables causing changes in corneal tissue structure following the smooth incision lenticular keratomileusis (SILK) procedure using the ELITA Femtosecond Laser System by characterizing the resulting disrupted tissue interface. Seventy-one ex vivo porcine eyes and...
