14. The microkeratome of claim 13, wherein the pivot hole and the slot are generally on opposing sides of the ring.
15. The microkeratome of claim 13, wherein the pivot hole and the slot cause the cutting head to move in an arcuate path across the fixation ring.
16. The microkeratome of claim 13, wherein the pivot hole and the slot cause the cutting head to move in a linear path across the fixation ring.
17. The microkeratome of claim 12, wherein a length of the slot determines the length of translation of the drive mechanism across the fixation ring.
18. The microkeratome of claim 12, wherein the slider-crank mechanism includes at least two slots formed on the fixation ring and a pair of rails for causing the cutting-head assembly to move along a path defined by the rails across the fixation ring.
19. The microkeratome of claim 1 further including a translation stop internal to the drive for allowing adjustable hinge-width.
20. The microkeratome of claim 1 further including a motor for automatically driving the cutting head at least partially across the fixation ring.
21. The microkeratome of claim 1 further including a motor for oscillating a blade assembly within the cutting head.
22. The microkeratome of claim 1 further including a first motor for automatically driving the cutting head assembly and a second motor for oscillating a blade assembly within the cutting head assembly.
23. The microkeratome of claim 4 wherein each arm includes a link pin, such that the link pins mate with structure formed on the fixation ring for guiding the drive mechanism at least partially across the fixation ring.
24. The microkeratome of claim 23 wherein a pivot hole of the fixation ring includes an indentation for mating with a knob of the cutting-head for holding one of the link pins above a slot of the fixation ring.
25. A microkeratome fixation ring comprising:
an annular ring for contacting a cornea of a patient;
structure defining a passage from a bottom surface of the annular ring and within the annular ring for connection to a vacuum source, such that the annular ring may be affixed to the cornea by operation of the vacuum source;
