Article Synopsis
- The study compares the thickness and optical density (OD) of corneal flaps and caps after two myopia correction procedures: femtosecond LASIK (FS-LASIK) and small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE).
- Conducted with 78 eyes, the research measured changes in thickness and OD at various postoperative intervals using optical coherence tomography and ImageJ software.
- Results showed significant rethickening in both procedures over 3 months, with SMILE demonstrating higher OD initially but a notable decrease over time, which relates to slower visual recovery compared to LASIK.
Purpose: To assess the relevance of the homogeneity of femtosecond laser flap thickness regarding induction of higher-order aberrations (HOAs).
Setting: Clínica Rementería & Clínica Novovisión, Madrid, Spain.
Design: Prospective observational study.

Purpose: To describe the postoperative evolution of visual acuity, flap morphology, and stromal optical density femtosecond laser-assisted laser in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK).
Setting: Clínica Rementería, Madrid, Spain.
Design: Prospective case series.
Purpose: To describe and compare the stromal bed roughness obtained after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) flap creation using a corneal femtosecond laser platform (iFS 150) and a "dual" femtosecond (FS) laser platform (LenSx).
Methods: This ex vivo experimental study was conducted in an animal model using 12 freshly enucleated porcine eyes, six with each femtosecond laser. The standard laser treatment parameters were used for the experiment.
