Purpose: To analyze the short-term (up to 1 month) clinical outcomes in patients undergoing corneal laser refractive surgery and the impact on dry eye disease (DED) metrics and corneal nerves using in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM).
Methods: The unaided distance visual acuity, corrected distance visual acuity, and spherical equivalent refraction (SEQ) were determined in 16 and 13 patients undergoing FS-LASIK and SMILE, respectively. DED metrics assessed were Ocular Surface Disease Index, Dry Eye Questionnaire 5-items (DEQ-5), tear film osmolarity, tear meniscus height, noninvasive keratograph breakup time (NIKBUT), ocular staining, and meibomian gland atrophy.

Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the early clinical outcomes of small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) surgery using an all-femtosecond laser in 71 eyes of 37 patients in the UK.
- 100% of eyes achieved 20/40 or better visual acuity post-operatively, with 88% reaching 20/20, and most patients had stable refraction results within ±0.50D after three months.
- Tear break up time remained unchanged from pre-operative levels, indicating minimal impact on the ocular surface, and the incidence of complications was low.
