To assess the response of corneal keratocytes to the IntraLase FS60 femtosecond laser using attenuated steroids. Thirty patients (30 eyes) who underwent LASIK with the IntraLase FS60 were assessed by clinical examination and confocal microscopy 3 months postoperatively. Postoperative steroid regimen...
