There was no discussion of retreatment or how to accomplish this. I am concerned with the relative inaccuracy of femtosecond depth within the cornea. This variability is seen routinely when measuring flap thickness with femtosecond lasik. It is hyperbole to say 'excimer is now obsolete". Not convinced femtosecond cuts and removing stroma can remotely compare to the precision and smoothness of an excimer. Time and peer reviewed studies will determine with time.
