Refractive lenticule extraction yields stable visual, refractive outcomes at 5 years
Femtosecond laser-assisted refractive lenticule extraction offered long-term stability in correcting myopia and myopic astigmatism, according to a study.The prospective clinical trial included 41 eyes of 22 patients who underwent the procedure. A 200 kHz VisuMax femtosecond laser (Carl Zeiss Meditec) was used to cut a flap and a lenticule of intrastromal corneal tissue. The lenticule was removed manually, and the flap was repositioned.
