Fig. 2 — Neurite length profiling in lenticules reshaped by excimer laser. (A) Porcine lenticules (from −9D correction) were reshaped excimer laser (resembling phototherapeutic keratectomy) with an ablation depth of 50 μm. (B and C) Neurite profile with positive calcium signal for control and laser-ablated lenticules. (D and E) Neurite profile with positive TuJ1 expression for control and ablated lenticules. (F) A comparison of mean neurite length with positive calcium flux (NL-Ca) and TuJ1 signals (NL-TuJ1) in control and ablated lenticules. (G) Lenticule diameter was reduced after laser reshaping. *P < 0.05 (Mann-Whitney U test). Scale bar: 1 mm.
