Small Incision Lenticule Extraction for Correction of Myopia and Myopic Astigmatism: First 24-Hour Outcomes

Abstract: Purpose To observe the first 24-hour (h) outcomes of the small incision lenticule extraction procedure (SMILE) for myopia and myopic astigmatism. Methods Fifty-three eyes (27 patients) scheduled for SMILE were followed immediately (0 h), 2, 4, 6, and 24 h after SMILE. Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), conjunctival congestion, pain level, and corneal edema, thickness, and densitometry were recorded. Results At 2 h after SMILE, 15.1% of eyes had ≤0.1 LogMAR UCVA; this increased to 62.3%, 98.1%, and 100% at 4, 6,… Show more

“…In one study of 53 eyes, 21% of eyes manifested mild pain within the first 24 hours post-procedure; no moderate or severe pain was reported, and no new reports of pain arose more than 4 hours into the first 24-hour postoperative period. 29 In the current study, half of the eyes in each group reported mild-moderate pain in the first 24 hours, half of which resolved by 1 week, and all of which resolved by month 3. The etiology of the pain in eyes in our study cannot be easily determined.…”
