A Modified Small-Incision Lenticule Intrastromal Keratoplasty (sLIKE) for the Correction of High Hyperopia: A Description of a New Surgical Technique and Comparison to Lenticule Intrastromal Keratoplasty (LIKE) [PDF]
Patients with high hyperopia are generally confined to either spectacle wear or contact lenses as a primary means of refractive correction. For this patient population, the surgical corrective methods, such as hyperopic laser assisted in-situ ...

Triamcinolone acetonide for remnant lenticule identification in small incision lenticule extraction
Lenticule fragments retained postoperatively are a unique complication of small incision lenticule extraction. Large or central remnants with pursuant complications, including irregular astigmatism, induced corneal aberrations, and reduction in visual acuity, warrant surgical removal.

Thirteen‐Year Outcomes of Keratorefractive Lenticule Extraction for Myopia Up to −10 Dioptres
Purpose: To explore the long‐term (13‐year) outcomes associated with keratorefractive lenticule extraction (KLEx) among patients with myopia up to −10 dioptres. Methods: This prospective, nonconsecutive case series included 29 patients (29 eyes) who underwent KLEx procedures from May, 2010, through March, 2013, at the Fudan University Eye and ENT ...

Scaffolds with stem cells to rehabilitate the ocular surface in patients with limbal stem cell deficiency. Native and synthetic scaffolds, as carriers of stem cells, are being developed and transplanted to treat individuals with limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD). Successful outcomes include restoration of tissue architecture and improvements in ocular

Histochemical and ultrastructural evaluation of myopic corneal lenticules based on refractive error
Abstract Background This study aimed to investigate cell degeneration, apoptosis, and ultrastructural differences in refractive lenticules (RL) obtained using small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) compared with spherical equivalence (SE) refraction values. Methods This study included 84 eyes from 42 patients. Patients were divided into two groups
