Tear film thickness and stability following femtosecond-assisted laser in situ keratomileusis: a comparison of high- and low-myopia
The observed alterations in tear film thickness, tear film distribution, FBUT, and tear film breakup location, affected by varying corneal stromal ablation depths, contribute to the development of dry eye disease following FS-LASIK. The extent of corneal epithelial remodeling after FS-LASIK correlates with the degree of refractive correction but not with refractive regression, and may play a role in tear film stability recovery.
