Zero Compression Keratome and Corneal
Abrasions
The Zero Compression Keratome is a device used during LASIK vision
correction to decrease the occurrence of corneal epithelial
abrasions (“scratches”). This new and improved version
of the
Hansatome offers significant
benefits to patients. There is a decreased risk of corneal
abrasions. In addition, thinner flaps can be created for patients
with thin corneas, large pupils or high prescriptions.
