Small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) in 2015.
Small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) represents a recent addition to the refractive surgeon's range of procedures. Although there remains a number of similarities to existing techniques in terms of patient selection and treatment parameters, consideration is required to optimise patient outcomes and satisfaction. Here, we review the selection criteria, contraindications, indications and ...
متن کاملCorrection of myopic astigmatism with small incision lenticule extraction.
PURPOSE To evaluate the outcome after small incision refractive lenticule extraction (SMILE) in patients with myopic astigmatism. METHODS Seven hundred seventy-five eyes from 403 patients with myopia treated with SMILE for a cylinder of 0.75 diopters (D) or more were identified from patient records. Six hundred sixty-nine eyes were defined as receiving low (< 2.5 D) and 106 eyes as receiving ...
متن کاملNew Instruments for Lenticule Extraction in Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE)
Small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) is an alternative to Laser-Assisted in situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) for correction of myopia. In cases where surgeons inadvertently dissect the posterior surface first, identification of the anterior surface and subsequent removal become difficult since the anterior surface of the lenticule is compacted against the anterior stromal surface. This may re...
متن کاملComparison of Astigmatic Correction after Femtosecond Lenticule Extraction and Small-Incision Lenticule Extraction for Myopic Astigmatism
PURPOSE To compare postoperative astigmatic correction between femtosecond lenticule extraction (FLEx) and small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) in eyes with myopic astigmatism. METHODS We examined 26 eyes of 26 patients undergoing FLEx and 26 eyes of 26 patients undergoing SMILE to correct myopic astigmatism (manifest astigmatism of 1 diopter (D) or more). Visual acuity, cylindrical re...
متن کاملSmall Incision Lenticule Extraction for Postkeratoplasty Myopia and Astigmatism
Purpose. To evaluate the visual and refractive outcomes after small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) for treating myopia and myopic astigmatism after penetrating keratoplasty (PKP). Design. Case-series. Methods. Ten eyes of 10 patients with previous PKP and residual myopic astigmatism for whom pentacam imaging and thickness measurements were acceptable for laser vision correction. Manifest...
