SMILE may result in higher refractive power correction in peripheral cornea

Patients who underwent either SMILE or LASIK surgery experienced high efficacy and safety, but SMILE patients experienced higher refractive power correction in the peripheral cornea, according to a study.
The retrospective case-matched study included 34 eyes of 23 patients who underwent SMILE and 34 eyes of 24 patients who underwent LASIK. At 3 months postop, safety, efficacy and predictability were compared between the two groups.
“This is a first study truly comparing refractive power correction efficiency between SMILE and LASIK groups after adjusting the optical zone. We revealed the
