Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate 7-year changes in corneal densitometry (CD) and its influencing factors following small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) for moderate to high myopia. METHODS A total of 32 patients (52 eyes) with a mean spherical equivalent (SE) refraction of -6.30 ± 1.30 D who underwent SMILE were recruited for this prospective study. Pre- and postoperative CD and corneal aberrations were measured by an oculus Pentacam system, and patients were followed up to 7 years. The CD evolution over time and its influencing factors were explored. RESULTS No complications were observed after SMILE. There was a significant time effect on postoperative CD ( P < 0.05). The CD values at the 0-to-2 and 2-to-6 mm of the anterior layer increased at the first day ( P < 0.05) and declined to baselines at 1 year postoperatively; after that, CD values at any zone and any corneal layer presented a decreasing trend over time (all P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that postoperative CD was positively correlated with age and optical zone (OZ), whereas negatively correlated with SE, corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), and corneal aberrations (higher-order aberrations, Coma0 and Coma90) (all P < 0.05). Generalized estimating equation revealed that age, SE, CDVA, OZ, and Coma0 were the main factors influencing postoperative CD values (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSION CD manifested a long-term decreasing trend in moderate to high myopia treated with SMILE. Its main influencing factors are age, SE, CDVA, OZ, and Coma0.

Long-Term Observation of Higher-Order Aberrations and Microdistortions in Bowman’s Layer After Small Incision Lenticule Extraction for the Correcting Myopia With Spherical Equivalent Higher Than −9.0 Diopters. Front Med (Lausanne) 2022; 9:814810. [PMID: 35463029 PMCID: PMC9023804 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2022.814810] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2021] [Accepted: 03/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the outcomes in corneal higher-order aberrations (HOAs) and microdistortions in the Bowman’s layer after femtosecond laser small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) for correcting extremely high myopia. Methods This prospective study included patients with myopia with spherical equivalent ≥ -9.0 Diopters (D). SMILE was performed in forty eyes of 40 patients. Pentacam was used to evaluate HOAs before and at 1 day, 3 months, 6 months, and 2 years after surgery. Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography was used to evaluate microdistortions at 2 years postoperatively. Thirty-two eyes of 32 patients receiving femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK) were enrolled as the control group. HOAs were measured before, at 1 day and at least 1 year postoperatively. Results After SMILE, the long-term safety and effectiveness index was 1.25 and 0.85, respectively. Microdistortions were observed in 73.5% of the eyes at 2 years, with an average number of 1.20 ± 1.22 microdistortions and an average width of 287.37 ± 259.00 μm. We detected more microdistortions in the horizontal meridian than in the vertical meridian (p = 0.035). The average number and width of microdistortions were both higher in the central region (≤4 mm) than in the peripheral region (4–8 mm) (both p < 0.001). With the exception of horizontal trefoil in the SMILE group and vertical trefoil in the FS-LASIK group, significant changes over time were observed in all other HOAs (all p < 0.05). Meanwhile, we detected significant increases in the total corneal HOA, spherical aberration (SA), and coma at all time-points after both surgeries (all p < 0.01). Compared with FS-LASIK, SMILE induced less SA (p < 0.001) and more horizontal coma (p = 0.036). In the SMILE group, the HOA, SA, and trefoil were more in the small optical zone (≤6.0 mm) than in the large optical zone (>6.0 mm) (all p < 0.05). The increase in SA and most trefoil correlated with the mean number of central microdistortions number (all p < 0.05). Conclusion For myopia over −9.0D, the microdistortions in the Bowman’s layer were still detectable in most eyes long-term after SMILE. Both SMILE and FS-LASIK induced more HOAs, mainly HOA, SA, and coma. The small optical zone and microdistortions may affect postoperative aberrations.

Comparative study of small-incision lenticule extraction with and without prophylactic corneal crosslinking: 1-year outcomes. J Cataract Refract Surg 2021; 47:1196-1204. [PMID: 34468458 DOI: 10.1097/j.jcrs.0000000000000594] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2020] [Accepted: 01/18/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To compare myopia and astigmatic correction after small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) with or without prophylactic crosslinking (SMILE Xtra). SETTING Shenyang Aier Eye Hospital, Central South University, China. DESIGN Retrospective study. METHODS Patients with comparable manifest sphere and cylinder undergoing SMILE Xtra or SMILE were enrolled. The crosslinking (CXL) energy was 2.7 J/cm2. Only right eyes were selected. Visual and refractive changes were evaluated for 1 year. Astigmatic correction was analyzed using Alpins method. RESULTS Thirty-six eyes undergoing SMILE Xtra and 40 eyes undergoing SMILE were enrolled. The uncorrected distance visual acuity at 1-day visit was lower after SMILE Xtra than that after SMILE (P = .01). At 12 months, the mean manifest refraction spherical equivalent (MRSE) and manifest cylinder were 0.08 ± 0.32 diopters (D) and -0.29 ± 0.23 D in SMILE Xtra group, whereas -0.25 ± 0.29 D and -0.22 ± 0.19 D in SMILE group (P < .01 and P = .135), respectively. Thirty-four eyes (94%) and 32 eyes (89%) in SMILE Xtra group and 36 eyes (91%) and 39 eyes (98%) in SMILE group exhibited target MRSE and manifest cylinder within ±0.50 D (P = .771 and P = .294), respectively. Compared with SMILE group, spherical correction index (SCI), correction index (CI), and difference vector were higher in SMILE Xtra group since 1-week follow-up (all P < .05). SCI and CI were slightly more than 1.0 after SMILE Xtra even at postoperative 12-month follow-up. CONCLUSIONS With CXL protocol of 30 mW/cm2 for 90 seconds, SMILE Xtra exhibited comparable astigmatic correction with SMILE up to 1-year follow-up, although slight spherical equivalent and astigmatic overcorrection were evident after SMILE Xtra.

Corneal Densitometry After Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE) and Femtosecond Laser-Assisted LASIK (FS-LASIK): 5-Year Prospective Comparative Study. Front Med (Lausanne) 2020; 7:521078. [PMID: 33240901 PMCID: PMC7681246 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2020.521078] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2020] [Accepted: 10/05/2020] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose: To investigate long-term changes in corneal densitometry (CD) following small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) vs. femtosecond laser-assisted LASIK (FS-LASIK) in patients with myopia or myopic astigmatism. Methods: Prospective analysis was performed in 66 eyes of 38 patients (13 males) who underwent SMILE and 54 eyes of 29 patients (5 males) who underwent FS-LASIK. In all patients, an ocular examination was performed preoperatively, and at 6–12 months and 5 years postoperatively. CD was obtained with the Pentacam Scheimpflug imaging system at the 0–2-mm, 2–6-mm, and 6–10-mm zones of the cornea at depth of anterior 120 μm, midcornea, and posterior 60 μm. Correlation analysis was performed between postoperative change in CD and other variables such as age, type of surgery, central corneal thickness, spherical equivalent, lenticule thickness/ablation depth, and changes in wavefront aberrations. Results: At postoperative 6–12 months, a significant reduction at several corneal zones in the FS-LASIK cohort (P < 0.05) was observed. In the SMILE cohort, no significant change in CD relative to baseline was observed. However, at 5 years postoperatively, in both groups, a significant decrease in CD was observed in three zones of three layers (all P < 0.001). The change in CD was similar between groups at postoperative 6–12 months, but at 5 years the magnitude of change was significantly smaller in SMILE than FS-LASIK in the anterior and central layers (all P < 0.05). Conclusion: CD with the Scheimpflug imaging system showed a significant decrease at 5 years after SMILE or FS-LASIK, and the change was significantly less pronounced after SMILE.
