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.
Corneal graft surgery is one of the most successful forms of human solid-tissue transplantation, and nowadays, there is a worldwide expansion of the surgical volume of corneal grafts. This surgery is continuously evolving, with new surgical techniques and postoperative treatments that have considerably increased the chance of survival for the grafts. Despite the high rate of success, corneal transplantation is still complicated by a relevant risk of graft failure.
