Abstract Details

Purpose:

Estimation of the results of SMILE operation complicated by conjunctiva suction beneath Treatment Pack interface in the eyes with myopia and myopic astigmatism.

Setting:

IRTC Eye Microsurgery Center Ekaterinburg, Russia

Methods:

Fourteen patients (17 eyes) were operated. In all cases SMILE operation was performed completely using VisuMax 500 kHz femtosecond laser (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Germany). In all cases primary or secondary complete femtodissection and removal of corneal lenticule through a microincision were performed.

Results:

In the study group, uncorrected visual acuity before the operation was 0.06 ± 0.05, at the first day post-op 0.89 ± 0.14 (p<0.05). Spherical equivalent (SE) before the operation was -4.63 ± 1.79D, at the first day post-op - 0.03 ± 0.13D D (p<0.05). Best corrected visual acuity before the operation was 0.99 ± 0.02, at the first day post-op 0.9 ± 0.11 (p>0.05).

Conclusions:

SMILE operation complicated by conjunctiva suction beneath Treatment Pack interface can be successfully completed by repeated vacuum application, complete femtodissection and removal of corneal lenticule through a microincision with good functional results.
