Clinical results of LASIK with two different microkeratomes were evaluated. Oscillating microkeratome Flapmaker, Refractive Technologies and rotating Dra- eger microkeratome, Storz were used for this study. Operations were performed on two group of high myopic patients (-11,09 D sf.eq., -12,03 D sf.eq. mean preop. refraction). Faster visual recovery and less complications were found with Flap- maker. LASIK created clinically acceptable results in both groups of patients.
