Effects of the LASIK flap thickness on corneal biomechanical behavior: a finite element analysis

Abstract Background It is well known that the biomechanical properties change after LASIK refractive surgery. One reason is the impact of flap creation on the residual stroma. The results have revealed that the change is closely related with the flap thickness in several studies. However, the quanti...
