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 .1 ,0.8 and -4.93 respectively vs mean postoperative 0.83, 0.9 and -0.37.

Conclusions:

SMILE is a safe and effective procedure with long term refractive stability.
