Background: To evaluate clinical outcomes and visual quality 3 months after mini-monovision (spherical equivalent [SE] between - 0.25 D and - 0.50 D) femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK) for correction of high myopia in patients with presbyopia.

Refractive surgeries have evolved from the archaic incisional corneal procedures to the use of sophisticated femtosecond lasers and new-generation phakic intraocular lenses (pIOL) for surgical correction of refractive errors. The armamentarium of modern-day refractive surgery includes corneal-based procedures such as photorefractive keratectomy, laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis and keratorefractive lenticule extraction, as well as lensbased pIOL implantation. The current procedures are associated with a high index of efficacy and predictability, with enhanced safety and a significant reduction in sight-threatening complications.

Presbyopia is an inevitable and progressive loss of the eye's ability to focus on nearby objects due to aging, which affects everyone regardless of their refractive error. Uncorrected presbyopia is a significant burden worldwide and affects the quality of life. Conservative options include spectacle correction, contact lenses, and pharmacologic agents.

Purpose: ReLEx (Refractive Lenticule Extraction) Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE), the second generation of ReLEx Femtosecond Lenticule Extraction (FLEx), is a minimally invasive, flapless procedure designed to treat refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia, and astigmatism. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the methods for preserving SMILE-derived lenticules and discusses their potential future applications.
Methods: A narrative literature review was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases, focusing on articles published up to January 2024 and available in English.

To evaluate the efficacy of optimized monovision correction using small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK) in myopic patients with presbyopia and to assess the corneal epithelial remodeling following these procedures. A prospective study was conducted. Thirty-two patients (64 eyes) with myopia and presbyopia who underwent surgical correction at Chongqing Bai Ji Eye Clinic from August 2021 to April 2023 were continuously included.
