PG - 1562-1567 LID - 10.4103/ijo.IJO_366_18 [doi] AB - PURPOSE: To compare visual acuity, refractive error, corneal curvature, and the stability of these parameters during the early postoperative period following small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK) surgery. METHODS: One hundred and five eyes and 110 eyes were enrolled in SMILE and FS-LASIK group, respectively. Uncorrected and best-corrected distance visual acuity (UCVA and BCVA), manifest refraction, corneal curvature, intraocular pressure, and slit-lamp examinations were performed preoperatively, 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months postoperatively. RESULTS: No significant differences in postoperative UCVA or BCVA were observed between the SMILE and FS-LASIK groups at any time point. SMILE group had significant better postoperative spherical equivalent (SE) values than FS-LASIK group at 1 day, 1 week, and 1-month follow-up. However, there was no significant difference in postoperative SE values at 3-month follow-up. Significant differences in mean postoperative corneal curvature were observed during all follow-up examinations. CONCLUSION: SMILE surgery was associated with more accurate postoperative refractive correction up to 1 month following surgery. SMILE surgery also resulted in less significant corneal curvature changes than FS-LASIK. Furthermore, FS-LASIK was associated with decreased stability of postoperative refractive error and corneal curvature relative to SMILE.
