Abstract Details

Purpose:

To evaluate safety and efficacy of SMILE on follow up for high myopia more than -10

Setting:

Roayah vision center Alexandria Egypt

Methods:

prospective non comparative case series carried out on 182 eyes of 113 myopic patients of errors more than 10D treated with femtosecond laser SMILE. Uuncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) , best spectacle corrected visual acuity(BSCVA), manifest refraction and contrast sensitivity were measured in all cases.

Results:

Mean preoperative UCVA , BSCVA and spherical equivalents were 0.05 ,0.67 and -11.93 respectively. All these parameters showed statistically significant change in the postoperative period. (p<0.01) .Mean postoperative UCVA,BSCVA , spherical equivalent were 0.64,0.78 and -1.78 respectively. A few operative and postoperative complications were reported in our case series.

Conclusions:

SMILE is a safe and effective procedure with long term refractive stability FINANCIAL INTEREST: One of more of the authors... receives consulting fees, retainer, or contract payments from a company producing, developing or supplying the product or procedure presented
