“…[6][7][8][9] Quality of vision may be largely governed by epithelial cover, which usually occurs within 3 to 7 days of surgery but may take as long as 2 weeks. 10 This may contribute to the high QoV scores in the early postoperative period.…”

Femtosecond laser (FSL) cataract surgery is in its infancy but is rapidly gaining popularity due to the improved consistency and predictability for corneal incisions and anterior capsulorhexis. It enables subsequently less phacoemulsification energy and time to be employed, which has gains in terms of reduced corneal oedema. In addition, the FSL allows better circularity of the anterior capsulotomy, capsule overlap, intraocular lens (IOL) placement and centration of the IOL. These advantages have resulted in improved visual and refractive outcomes in the short term. Complication rates are low which reduce with surgeon experience. This review article focuses on the Alcon LenSx system.

“…Similarly, Sekundo and colleagues found that 95.6 % of eyes in their cohort were within ±1.00 D [ 2 ]. Reported predictability of LASIK ranges widely from 78.2 % up to 96.7 % [ 10 , 11 ] with enhancement procedures typically being performed with flap lift LASIK or surface ablation [ 12 , 13 ]. The higher rates of predictability anticipated with SMILE suggest that enhancement rates will be lower than with LASIK.…”

BackgroundThe purpose of this case series is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of VisuMax® Circle patterns in eyes that have undergone small incision lenticule extraction, thus creating a flap to perform an enhancement procedure or residual lenticule extraction.MethodsThis prospective, single center, case study series evaluated the use of a VisuMax® Circle pattern to create a corneal flap following small incision lenticule extraction. Patients were treated and followed at TRSC International LASIK Center (Bangkok, Thailand) for 3 months to assess the efficacy and safety of the procedure. Efficacy was determined by the surgeon’s ability to lift the created corneal flap.ResultsThe study enrolled 28 eyes. Twenty-seven underwent the VisuMax® Circle pattern procedure for refractive enhancement, and one for residual lenticule extraction. In 100 % of cases (28 eyes) the lifting of the flap was possible, as planned. In all cases of refractive enhancement (27 eyes) by laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), the exposure of the stromal bed was sufficient for the necessary excimer laser ablation. No eyes lost two or more Snellen lines of corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) and no procedure or flap-related complications or serious adverse events occurred.ConclusionsThis initial case series demonstrates that VisuMax® Circle pattern is efficacious and a suitable method to create a corneal flap for enhancement, following small incision lenticule extraction.
