The maximum distance traversed was ∼1.8 m and ∼1.3 m assuming a constant airflow (setting of refractive surgery theater) and decaying jet condition (setting of an operating theater with air-handling unit), respectively. The maximum distance traversed was ∼1.8 m and ∼1.3 m assuming a constant airflow (setting of refractive surgery theater) and decaying jet condition (setting of an operating theater with air-handling unit), respectively. 13, 14 Therefore, we quantified the aerosol and droplet generation during flap creation using the Moria One Use-Plus SBK microkeratome (Moria SA) and assessed their trajectory using high-speed shadowgraphy and fluid mechanics principles. ./cache/cord-316129-mjg3un0l.txt ./txt/cord-316129-mjg3un0l.txt
