Case Report of Myopia Correction by ReLEx SMILE in a Patient with Superficial Corneal Opacity
Oftalʹmologiâ, 2020 Introduction. Reduced corneal transparency leads to dissipation of energy of the femtosecond laser (FSL), which may complicate the formation of the intrastromal incision and limits the use of FSL in eyes with corneal opacities and scars.
