The Impact of Horizontal Marking on the VisuMax Surgical Bed Headrest on the Outcomes of Myopic Astigmatism Correction With Small Incision Lenticule Extraction. [PDF]
Aims: To investigate the impact of horizontal markings on the VisuMax surgical bed headrest on the accuracy of astigmatism correction in small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE). Methods: This retrospective study categorized preoperative astigmatism severity into low‐astigmatism (−0.25 to −1.75 D) and moderate‐to‐high astigmatism (−2.00 to −4.50 D).
