ABSTRACT
@#AIM: To analyze the early visual quality differences of femtosecond laser small incision matrix lens extraction(SMILE)versus femtosecond laser excimer laser <i>in situ</i> keratomileusis(LASIK).<p>METHODS: From February 2017 to February 2018, 78 patients(including 156 eyes)with SMILE myopia were enrolled in our hospital. Eighty patients(160 eyes)who underwent LASIK myopia in the same period were selected. All patients were followed up for three times. Months were observed for surgical outcomes, high-order aberrations, and contrast sensitivity(CS)status.<p>RESULTS: At 1mo and 3mo postoperatively, the central corneal thickness change rate in the SMILE group was(-14.48±2.67)%,(-13.54±2.90)% lower than that of LASIK(-17.92±2.85)%,(-15.63±2.71)%, and intraocular pressure changes. The rates were(-27.08±3.64)% and(-24.41±3.28)% were lower than those in the LASIK group(-29.26±3.81)% and(-27.01±3.62)%(<i>P</i><0.05). The total high-order aberrations of the SMILE group were the sputum difference was lower than that of LASIK group(<i>P</i><0.05). The SMILE group values were(1.86±0.21),(1.52±0.23)and(0.91±0.14)when the spatial frequency of glare CS was 1.5, 12.0 and 18.0 at 1mo after operation was higher than the LASIK group(1.71±0.20),(1.41±0.25),(0.81±0.12)(<i>P</i><0.05).<p>CONCLUSION: SMILE has a lower effect on patients with higher-order aberrations than LASIK, and the early visual quality is better.
ABSTRACT
AlM:To analyze and compare the effect of femtosecond laser micro - incision corneal stromal lens excision ( SMlLE) and excimer laser in situ keratomileusis ( LASlK) in the treatment of myopia after operation, to explore the safety, operability and prediction of SMlLE.METHODS:ln this prospective clinical controlled study, 100 cases ( 200 eyes ) received SMlLE and 100 cases ( 200 eyes) undergone LASl in our hospital in the same period were selected. Uncorrected visual acuity, diopter, corrected visual acuity, slit lamp examination, intraocular pressure and corneal anterior segment OCT, corneal topography (Obscan ll) of two groups in 1d, 1wk, 1, 3, 6mo, 1a were compared. lndependent samples t test was used for data analysis.RESULTS:1) Postoperative slit lamp examination:after 1d in SMlLE group, there were less eyes had corneal layer between mild cloudy or edema; postoperative 1wk corneal layer disappeared, cornea became clear and transparent. 2 ) Postoperative vision recovery: 1d after operation, vision recovery in LASlK group was better than that in SMlLE group, the difference was statistically significant (P0. 05 ). 3 ) Obscan ll examination: graphics in the SMlLE group was more regular and placed in the center, no eccentric and irregular graphics, better than that in the LASlK group. 4) Anterior segment OCT examination:postoperative corneal flap in the SMlLE group was more uniform and accurate, but it was thin in the center and slightly thick the peripheral part in the LASlK groups. 5 ) Postoperative visual quality assessment used subjective questionnaire survey. The two groups had statistically significant difference on 4 points and 1 points (P<0. 05). Complains in the LASlK groups were more that that in the SMlLE group. While, no complain of the SMlLE group was higher than that of the LASlK group. Glare of postoperative patients with night vision and dark environment in the SMlLE group was better than that of the LASlK group.CONCLUSlON: SMlLE is safe, effective, stable and predictable for the correction of myopia.
