* Caution – small hinge. *Corneas > 12mm may decrease flap by .25mm
** Caution of corneas < 11.0mm. Lubricate well and make slower pass. |
Notes: Determine your Average K, then select appropriate ring and stop position.
For corneas greater than 11.5mm in diameter, OZ size will decrease by .25mm.
For corneas less than 11.0mm in diameter, OZ size will increase by .25mm.
Suggested combinations only – individual patient selection may vary! |
