Although femtosecond laser-assisted LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis). provides a controllable flap size than a mechanical microkeratome, patients still experience dry eye symptoms after LASIK. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of different flap sizes on postoperative dry eye syndrome and corneal sensitivity.
