Ophthalmology Times - Jan. 1, 2010, James S. Lewis, MD (Elkins Parks, PA - USA)
During his lecture at the 2009 ISRS/AAO Refractive Subspecialty Day, James S. Lewis, MD assessed the profile and architecture of 300 consecutive flaps with Moria's latest automated microkeratome One Use-Plus SBK for 100-micron planar flaps (Sub Bowman's Keratomileusis). Using latest generation of anterior segment OCT device, he then focused on flap edges and made comparison with IntraLase 150kHz (Abbott Medical Optics) and discovered on every femto-flap a kind of "gap" between the edges of the flap and the stromal bed and opposite tissue in every OCT meridian, phenomenon he named "Femto-Furrow". On the contrary, all the flaps created with the One Use-Plus SBK showed a fine apposition of the flap on the stromal bed and opposite tissue. Get the whole story...
Comparison of myopic LASIK centered on the coaxily sighted corneal light reflex or light of sight
Journal of Refractive Surgery - Oct. 2009, Shigeki Okamoto, MD (Ehime, Japan)
Shigeki Okamoto, MD purpose was to compare refractive outcomes of myopic LASIK using the One Use-Plus SBK microkeratome with centration on the coaxially sight corneal light reflex to centration on the center of the pupil (line of sight). This first strategy was the more effective technique to provide optimal visual outcomes to patients, which are slighly better or equivalent to published results with femtosecond platforms.

Microkeratome shown effective for thin-flap LASIK in Asian eyes
Ocular Surgery News - Sept. 15, 2009, Bai Ji, MD (Chongqing, China)
During the last ESCRS Fall meeting in Barcelona, Prof. Bai Ji presented his large-scale study using the Moria One Use-Plus SBK microkeratome with metallic rings for thin, 100-micron planar flaps. After a series of 1803 eyes of 921 Asian myopic patients, he demonstrated safety, accuracy and predicatibility even in thin corneas, with a planar flap architecture. "The Moria One Use-Plus SBK is a good alternative [to femtosecond laser] to perform thin and planar flaps LASIK" Prof. Bai Ji concluded. Get the whole story...
Single-use mechanical microkeratome offers reliable, safe, effective alternative for sub-Bowman's keratomileusis
Ophthalmology Times - June 15, 2009, Gustavo Tamayo, MD (Bogota, Colombia)
An automated microkeratome, One Use-Plus SBK, equipped with a 90-μm head that cuts an average flap thickness of 100 μm, is the single-use solution for performing sub-Bowman’s keratomileusis. It performs with excellent reproducibility, comparing well with the femtosecond laser, and creates high-quality, planar-like flaps and smooth stromal beds. Get the whole story...
