Abstract Details

Purpose:

Estimation of functional results after SMILE operation complicated by pathologic femtodissection in the eyes with myopia and myopic astigmatism.

Setting:

IRTC Eye Microsurgery Ekaterinburg Center, Ekaterinburg, Russia.

Methods:

We have operated 9 eyes of 9 patients, mean age 24.44 ± 2.92 years (5 males, 4 females). SMILE operation complicated by pathologic femtodissection was completely performed in all cases with VisuMax 500 kHz femtosecond laser (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Germany). In all cases complete femtosecond laser dissection and corneal lenticule removal through the microincision were performed.

Results:

In the study group preoperative UCVA was 0.07 ± 0.09, at day 1 post- op it was 0.77 ± 0.19 (p<0.05). Spherical equivalent (SE) before operation was -5.32 ± 2.94D and at day 1 post-op + 1 ± 0D (p<0.05). BCVA before operation was 0.98 ± 0.03, at day 1 post-op it was 0.78 ± 0.17 (p>0.05).

Conclusions:

VisuMax femtosecond laser in rare cases implements pathologic femtodissection in standard mode with bubbles formation during SMILE operation. Obtained results after SMILE operation in standard mode with bubbles formation show delayed restoration of visual functions.
