One-year refractive results, contrast sensitivity, high-order aberrations and complications after myopic small-incision lenticule extraction (ReLEx SMILE).

Background: To report one year results of the first cohort of routine refractive lenticule extraction through a small incision (ReLEx SMILE) for correction of myopia and myopic astigmatism.

Methods: Fifty-four eyes of 27 patients with spherical equivalent of -4.68 ± 1.

Refractive lenticule extraction (ReLEx flex) and wavefront-optimized Femto-LASIK: comparison of contrast sensitivity and high-order aberrations at 1 year.

Aim: To compare 1-year results of the refractive lenticule extraction (ReLEx) flex technique performed as a commercial bilateral simultaneous procedure to a matched group of wavefront-optimized Femto-Lasik for correction of myopia and astigmatism with emphasis on contrast sensitivity and high-order aberrations (HOA).

Methods: In this retrospective study 44 eyes of 22 patients with spherical equivalent (SE) of -5.13 D who underwent ReLEx were matched to 50 eyes of 25 patients with SE of -5.
