Example sentences for: lenticule
How can you use “lenticule” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
When the tissue temperature drops to below 40°C, these bonds can reunite with possible rearrangement of the matrix but without any cellular damage [ 16 ] . Under this consideration the thermal contact of the 49°C preheated PALM gel onto the bare corneal stroma for the in situ molding of the lenticule, would not be expected to induce any irreversible changes of the corneal collagen chains.
Instillation of 100 μm of the preheated liquid solution [ 18 ] on the corneal surface requires 4 minutes for the lenticule to acquire the mechanical stiffness required to withstand the stress induced by the lens removal, at room temperature of 25°C.
An effective amount of fluorescein in the lenticule mixture provides the surgeon visual feedback for the ablation progress.
The major remaining drawback of the PALM as well as of similar PTK techniques [ 15 ] in order to obtain an optimal refractive result is the accurate centration and placement of the molding lens for the proper formation of the lenticule before irradiation.
After this time the lens mold is removed and the lenticule is ablated through with irradiation in PTK mode.
