Extreme myopic laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) poses challenges regarding future intraocular lens (IOL) power selection. A male patient in his 40s complained of progressive right eye (OD) diminished visual acuity. He had a history of myopic LASIK in both eyes (OU) 20 years before, and implantable collamer lens (ICL) implant in OU 8 years before.

To compare the postoperative visual outcomes of corneal topography-guided femtosecond laser-assisted laser in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK) and small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) for myopia and myopic astigmatism. Embase and PubMed were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs), prospective comparative studies, observational studies and retrospective studies of patients with myopia and/or myopic astigmatism treated by corneal topography-guided FS-LASIK, the other FS-LASIKs or SMILE (inception to November 2023). The studies meeting the criteria were collected and underwent quality assessment according to the Jadad scale for RCTs and the Newcastle-Ottawa scale for non-randomized studies.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the actual corneal consumption and subsequent corneal biomechanical changes after small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK) in eyes with high myopic astigmatism.

Methods: In this prospective, randomized study on high myopic astigmatic eyes, 74 patients with similar refractive error received SMILE in one eye and FS-LASIK in the contralateral eye were enrolled. The central stromal reduction was calculated by preoperative and postoperative central stromal thickness (CST) measurements by the RTVue optical coherence tomography (OCT).

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to analyze factors affecting changes in corneal tissue structure after the smooth incision lenticular keratomileusis (SILK) procedure using the ELITA Femtosecond Laser System.
  • It involved testing various surgical parameters on 71 porcine and 6 human cadaver eyes, with measurements taken using confocal microscopy to observe and quantify the disrupted tissue interface.
  • Results showed that the thickness of the disrupted interface was primarily influenced by laser pulse energy, scan overlap, and mechanical manipulation, with ELITA SILK producing minimal disruption compared to other methods, highlighting its potential for better surgical outcomes in refractive surgery.

Article Synopsis
  • - A patient experienced poor vision in the right eye due to trauma from a rubber ball, 10 days after having LASIK surgery four years prior, and examination revealed multiple folds in the LASIK flap.
  • - Urgent surgical intervention was performed that included epithelial debridement and flap lifting, which successfully smoothed the striae and led to proper healing with the application of a bandage contact lens.
  • - Post-surgery, the patient achieved 20/20 vision, highlighting the importance of managing trauma to LASIK flaps, as incomplete wound healing increases susceptibility to complications like macrostriae.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigated changes in messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein levels in the tears of patients undergoing three types of laser vision correction: PRK, FS-LASIK, and SMILE, with samples collected before and after the procedures.
  • - Results showed that PRK and FS-LASIK produced significantly higher biological responses, particularly with increased levels of interleukin-15 and vascular endothelial growth factor A, compared to SMILE, especially on the first day post-surgery.
  • - By 180 days after the procedures, the levels of both mRNA and proteins in all groups had returned to levels similar to those before the surgeries, indicating a stabilization of expression.

Corneal ectasias, including keratoconus (KC), pellucid marginal degeneration (PMD), and post-LASIK ectasia, poses significant visual rehabilitation challenges due to the resultant irregular astigmatism, myopia, and higher-order aberrations (HOAs). These conditions often resist traditional corrective methods, necessitating advanced optical solutions. Scleral lenses (SLs) have emerged as a primary non-surgical option for managing these complex corneal irregularities.
