Update of Research Progress on Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE) Lenticule Reuse
Clinical Ophthalmology, 2023 The SMILE lenticule is a complete corneal stroma that is removed from SMILE surgery. Since the increasing number of SMILE surgeries, a large number of SMILE lenticules have been produced, so the reuse and preservation of the stromal lens has become a research hotspot.

Ex Vivo Lenticule Customization for Stromal Lenticule Addition Keratoplasty
Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual ScienceThe purpose of this study was to explore the optimal shape of customized lenticules for stromal lenticule addition keratoplasty (SLAK) for off-centered ectasia.Two different methods to create ex vivo models of eccentric-keratoconus were investigated. Twelve human corneas were used to create model 1 by a hyperopic photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), and ...

New instruments for lenticule extraction in small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE).
PLoS ONE, 2014 Small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) is an alternative to Laser-Assisted in situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) for correction of myopia. In cases where surgeons inadvertently dissect the posterior surface first, identification of the anterior surface and
