Preferred Label : keratectomy, subepithelial, laser-assisted;
MeSH definition : A surgical technique to correct REFRACTIVE ERRORS of the EYE, such as MYOPIA and ASTIGMATISM.
In this method, a flap of CORNEAL EPITHELIUM is created by exposure of the area to
dilute alcohol. The flap is lifted and then replaced after laser ablation of the subepithelial
CORNEA.;
