ABSTRACT By reshaping the cornea using an individualized ablation profile for each eye obtained through wavefront aberrometry, wavefront guided treatment attempts to reduce preexisting and surgically induced aberrations while minimizing visually significant higher-order aberrations (HOAs). However, HOA enhancement is still a concern, even with custom ablations. In the myopic laser refractive surgery, as the laser beam enters the periphery, some parts are reflected, and the circular beam becomes elliptical, resulting in a decrease in the effectiveness of the laser energy.

ABSTRACT Additive manufacturing, more popularly known as three-dimensional (3D) printing, is based on the development of an object with the help of computer-aided design software followed by its printing through the deposition of a material, layer by layer, to create the desired product. There are several types of 3D printing techniques and the type of printing process chosen depends on the specific application of the object to be developed, the materials to be used, and the resolution required to print […]
