Application of Moria-2 auto-carriago-barraguer microkeratome in LASIK

Objective To study the application of Moria-2 auto-carriago-barraguer microkeratome in LASIK. Methods LASIK was performed for 367 eyes（187 patients） using Moria-2 auto-carriago-barraguer microkeratome. Results The best corrected visual acuity was achieved in 360（98.1%） out of the 367 eyes after LASIK.The intra-operative complication rate of corneal flaps（free flap,thin broken flap and different thick flaps of 3 eyes,respectively） was 1.4%.No ingrown of epithelium was observed in corneal flaps after LASIK.However,desert-like reaction occurred in the corneal layer of 2 eyes.There was a statistical difference in absorbing time（seconds） between the first absorbing ring and the knife（19.4±3.1）s and vice versa（16.6±2.7）s（t=3.469,P=0.001）. Conclusion Moria-2 auto-carriago-barraguer microkeratome is easy to operate and high in safety,and therefore can be used in LASIK.
