Human SMILE-Derived Stromal Lenticule Scaffold for Regenerative Therapy: Review and Perspectives
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022 A transparent cornea is paramount for vision. Corneal opacity is one of the leading causes of blindness. Although conventional corneal transplantation has been successful in recovering patients’ vision, the outcomes are challenged by a global lack of ...

Keratorefractive Lenticule Extraction - KLEx. [PDF]
Klin Monbl AugenheilkdAbstractThe clinical use of femtosecond lasers has led to significant progress in a number of surgical procedures in ophthalmology. In the field of corneal refractive surgery, a one-step intrastromal laser procedure without a flap has been established for the first time. This review follows the development of this surgical procedure.

Factors Influencing Astigmatic Correction Using Small-Incision Lenticule Extraction: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. [PDF]
J OphthalmolPurpose To systematically review SMILE‐based astigmatism correction and influencing factors. Methods Literature was screened across eight databases. Pre‐ and post‐SMILE cylinder, difference vector (DV), correction index (CI), magnitude of error (ME), angle of error (AE), and index of success (IOS) were compared.

Three-Dimensional Neurite Characterization of Small Incision Lenticule Extraction Derived Lenticules
Investigative Opthalmology & Visual Science, 2019 We study the density and excitatory response of neurites, and Schwann cells (SCs) in fresh and cryopreserved stromal lenticules derived from small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE).Human stromal lenticules (n = 23) were immunostained for β III-tubulin and imaged using spinning disk confocal laser microscopy, followed by three-dimensional ...
