A fixed combination ointment of tobramycin (3 mg/ml) and dexamethasone (1 mg/ml) (Novartis, Basel, Switzerland) was applied to the operated eye at the end of the procedure. The eye was then patched and shielded overnight. Starting the next day, tobramycin (3 mg/ml) and dexamethasone (1 mg/ml) fixed combination eye drops (Novartis, Basel, Switzerland) were prescribed q.i.d. and tapered out weekly over 4 weeks. AGD were continued after the procedure and, at the discretion of the surgeons, discontinued during the follow-up period according to the IOP.

LASIK procedure with active compensation of eye movements and a 7D eye-tracker were performed by two experienced surgeons (AMG and JMC) using the Amaris 1050 RS excimer laser system (SCHWIND eye-tech-solutions GmbH, Kleinostheim, Germany). Topical eye drops of tetracaine/oxybuprocaine (Double Anesthetic Colircusi®) were instilled as an anesthetic. LASIK flaps were cut using Nidek MK-2000 microkeratome system. The medium flap thickness was 120 μm, and the optical zone values were between 6.5 and 6.7 mm. Tobramicin 0.3% and dexamethasone 0.1% (Tobradex, Novartis, Switzerland) and topical lubrication with artificial tears were prescribed after surgery four times daily for 7 days.
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
