Combined femto laser, excimer laser procedure allows correction of high cylinder and sphere

PARIS — A technique combining deep intrastromal arcuate keratotomy with LASIK allows correction of high ametropia beyond the normal range of LASIK. The technique is performed in two steps, Ora Levy, MD, said at the meeting of the French Society of Ophthalmology. First, arcuate incisions are performed with a femtosecond laser on an optical zone varying between 6.5 mm and 7 mm. A LASIK flap is then performed with the same laser, 100 µm deep, with a diameter of 9.5 mm.
