Purpose: To compare the clinical outcomes, surgical workflow, and patient satisfaction following small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) performed with the VisuMax 800 in one eye and the VisuMax 500 in the contralateral eye (both Carl Zeiss Meditec).
Methods: This was a prospective, single-site clinical study of patients undergoing SMILE for myopia and myopic astigmatism between February 2022 and August 2023. Each patient underwent bilateral treatment using the VisuMax 800 (VM800 group) in one eye and the VisuMax 500 (VM500 group) in the contralateral eye. Intraoperative docking time, suction time, laser time, and surgical time were noted. Patient satisfaction and laser preference was evaluated immediately after treatment. Visual and refractive outcomes, contrast sensitivity, and quality of vision were assessed at the 3-month postoperative visit.
Results: A total of 30 patients undergoing bilateral SMILE were included. The mean docking time and surgical time were significantly lower in the VM800 group (46.53 ± 11 sec and 4.52 ± 2.33 min, respectively) compared to the VM500 group (68.25 ± 15 sec and 6.22 ± 2.04 min, respectively) ( < .001). No significant differences were observed at the 1-day or 3-month visit for uncorrected distance visual acuity, corrected distance visual acuity, spherical equivalent, higher order aberrations, Objective Scatter Index, modulation transfer function, and contrast sensitivity. Patient scores regarding subjective symptoms were comparable. However, overall satisfaction with the surgical experience was rated significantly better in the VM800 group, with 80% of patients preferring the VM800 eye. No complications occurred for eyes in either group.
Conclusions: No significant differences were observed in clinical outcomes between the two laser systems. However, the surgical workflow and patient-reported intraoperative experience favored the VisuMax 800. .

Purpose: To evaluate the visual outcomes of keratorefractive lenticule extraction using a new version of a femtosecond laser platform with semi-automated cyclotorsion compensation in comparison to the previous generation without cyclotorsion control.
Methods: This was an ambispective study of consecutive eyes treated by SMILE with the VisuMax and VISUMAX 800 femtosecond lasers at the Uma Eye clinic, Chennai, India between June 2022 and July 2023. Inclusion criteria were myopia up to -10 D and astigmatism between 1.

To evaluate the efficiency, predictability, and residual astigmatism between first- and second-generation keratorefractive lenticule extraction (KLEx) surgeries in a prominent astigmatism population. A retrospective cohort study was conducted, and individuals who underwent first- and second-generation KLEx surgeries were enrolled. A total of 31 and 35 eyes were categorized into first and second KLEx groups, respectively.

In this study, we aim to evaluate the risk factors of myopia undercorrection in recipients of second-generation keratorefractive lenticule extraction (KLEx) surgery. A retrospective case-control study was performed, and patients who received second-generation KLEx surgery were enrolled. The cases with myopia undercorrection were matched to non-myopia undercorrection cases with a 1:4 ratio according to age, and a total of 22 and 88 eyes were categorized into the undercorrection and control groups, respectively.
