A Longitudinal Study of LASIK Flap and Stromal Thickness with High-speed Optical Coherence Tomography

We have developed a method for using high-speed OCT to measure LASIK flap thickness after surgery. The measurement is noncontact, rapid, and repeatable. Profile and map measurements provide more information than point measurements previously demonstrated. This could be valuable for planning LASIK enhancement and characterizing microkeratome performance.
