* Match graft thickness - 15µm reserve for smoothing (-1.25D, 8.0OZ, 29µm central ablation) ** At least 200µm residual stroma - 50µm reserve for smoothing (-2.50D, 8.0OZ, 58µm central ablation) Masking agent: Balanced salt solution (B), Optisol-GS (O) §Calculated by: Central stromal thickness - FS laser lamellar cut depth setting – 0.5 × Excimer laser ablation depth setting (assuming the excimer laser ablation efficiency is 50% when smoothing agent is used to mask the stromal bed)
