Patient documentation file showing a rare example of an elliptic flap intended for correction of astigmatic myopia.
Notes: There are two diameters, namely 8.5 mm horizontal meridian (0–180 degrees) and 8.00 mm for the vertical meridian (90–270 degrees). This flap has no opaque bubble layer or skip line, and in this respect represents the majority of cases in our study.
