George Waring IV, MD reviews a study conducted with Daniel Durrie, MD comparing two femtosecond lasers: the Intralase FS60 and the Ziemer LDV. Relative benefits of the lasers were evaluated. Post operative clinical analysis showed no statistical differences between the two laser treatments. Dr. Waring IV covers the thorough evaluation for planarity and uniformity of the flaps as well as the electron microscopic evaluation for bed smoothness.
