pubmed-article:8771546 | pubmed:abstractText | The erodible mask is a new energy delivery system for the 193-nm argon fluoride excimer laser. It consists of a polymethyl-methacrylate button, whose profile is transferred by photoablation onto the corneal surface. We present the 6- and 12-month results of this technique in the correction of compound myopic astigmatism. | lld:pubmed |
