Comparison of Corneal Biomechanics in Post-SMILE, Post-LASEK, and Keratoconic Eyes
Frontiers in Medicine, 2021 Significance: Our study found that SP-A1 (stiffness parameter at time of first applanation) was statistically different between post-laser-assisted subepithelial keratomileusis (LASEK) and post-small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) eyes.

Long term results of no-alcohol laser epithelial keratomileusis and photorefractive keratectomy for myopia [PDF]
International Journal of Ophthalmology, 2015 RESULTS: Twenty-one eyes and 22 eyes completed follow-up of 60mo in LASEK and PRK group respectively. Manifest refraction at 60mo follow-up was -0.01 and 0.26 in LASEK and PRK group respectively. In the LASEK group mean UDVA and mean CDVA after 60mo were
