Interventions

  • Corneal lenticule extraction for advanced refractive correction (CLEAR) — PROCEDURE
    Routinely conducted procedure for correction of Myopia

Study Details

This study aims to perform biomechanical tests on extracted CLEAR lenticles that are routinely discarded after surgery. The investigators also aim to perform Brillouin microscopy to get an in-vivo assessment of the patient's cornea preoperatively and to correlate this data with the postoperative characterization of the extracted corneal lenticule. The characterization will be done with established biomechanical and morphologic tests.
