SMALL INCISION LENTICULE EXTRACTION – SMILE

Health Sciences
Small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) is a new type of refractive surgery, which was approved by FDA only in 2016. The procedure is notable for its small incision size of 2-4mm, absence of flap creation as in LASIK and single laser platform being utilized during procedure.

Unilateral corneal ectasia following small-incision lenticule extraction

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 2015
We describe a case of unilateral corneal ectasia in a 26-year-old man following small-incision lenticule extraction. The preoperative corneal topography was normal, with a minimum corneal thickness of 511 μm and 513 μm in the right eye and left eye, respectively.

Epithelial implantation treatment after small-incision lenticule extraction

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 2020
Two cases of epithelial implantation after small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) treated by Nd:YAG laser and interface sweeping are described. A 40-year-old woman and 33-year-old man underwent SMILE and subsequently were noted to have epithelial cells implanted into the surgical interface. One case was treated using Nd:YAG laser.

A review of small incision lenticule extraction complications

Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 2018
As a flapless procedure, SMILE brings benefits to refractive surgery, such as lower corneal biomechanical impact, less dry eye risk and less stromal bed exposure. However, the longer learning curve can be a risk factor for complications. This article aims to discuss SMILE complications and proposes a categorized analysis of occurrences, dividing into ...
