Yes. To adjust the equipment, it is necessary to know the Corneal Ring both inner and outer diameters, to allow the making of the correct dimensioned tunnel. These measures are 4.7 mm and 5.9 mm, respectively. For the surgeon who plans a larger tunnel to ease implantation, it is recommended not to change the tunnel inner limit, which is 4.7 mm, but SLIGHTLY increase the outer limit to 6.0 mm. Summary: Intralase adjusts: inner diameter=4.7mm and outer diameter=6.0mm.
