Purpose: To compare the long-term refractive and visual outcomes and the corneal higher-order aberrations of contralateral eyes of patients who received small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) in one eye and femtosecond laser-assisted laser in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK) in the other eye.
Setting: Refractive Surgery Clinic of the University of Health Sciences Beyoğlu Eye Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey.
Design: Retrospective case series.
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of primary and recurrent pterygium surgery on corneal wavefront aberrations.
Methods: This prospective and interventional study included the 47 eyes of 47 patients with primary pterygium (primary group) and 41 eyes of 41 patients with recurrent pterygium (recurrent group). All patients underwent pterygium excision with conjunctival autograft transplantation.
Purpose: To compare the efficiency and safety of accelerated corneal cross-linking in pediatric patients with progressive keratoconus.
Methods: In this retrospective interventional case series, 44 eyes of 38 pediatric patients with progressive keratoconus were enrolled. All consecutive patients underwent accelerated corneal cross-linking with settings of 30 mW/cm(2) for 4 minutes, corresponding to a total dose of 7.
Purpose: To compare the postoperative corneal hysteresis (CH) and corneal resistance factor (CRF) of eyes implanted with a small aperture corneal inlay versus fellow eyes.
Methods: Medical records of patients who underwent small aperture corneal inlay (KAMRA; AcuFocus, Inc., Irvine, CA) implantation were retrospectively reviewed.
Purpose: To evaluate the results of Artisan iris-supported phakic anterior chamber intraocular lens (pIOL) implantation in patients with high myopia.
Methods: Medical records of patients who underwent Artisan pIOL implantation for surgical correction of myopia were retrospectively reviewed. Only patients with at least a two- year follow-up were included.
Purpose. To evaluate and compare corneal backscatter from anterior stroma between small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and femtosecond laser-assisted LASIK (femto-LASIK). Methods.

Methods: In this prospective, randomized, contralateral-eye study, 28 patients with myopia or myopic astigmatism in both eyes were enrolled. One eye of each patient was treated by SMILE, and the fellow eye was treated by F-LASIK.
Aims: To report our initial experience with femtosecond lenticule extraction (FLEX) compared with femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK).
Settings And Design: This was a prospective pilot study carried out at the Refractive Surgery Department of the Beyoglu Eye Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey.
Materials And Methods: Surgery was performed on both eyes of 14 consecutive patients with myopia or myopic astigmatism.
Aims: To report and compare the cap thickness predictability of small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and flap thickness of femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (femto-LASIK).
Settings And Design: Beyoglu Eye Training and Research Hospital, Refractive Surgery Department, Istanbul, Turkey. Retrospective pilot study.
