Impact of extreme (flat and steep) keratometry on the safety and efficacy of small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE)

Little is known about the connection between preoperative keratometry and postoperative results of myopic small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE). To determine the influence of extreme (flat and steep) corneal keratometry on the safety and efficacy of SMILE, the databases of the Department of Op...

Zusammenfassung:Little is known about the connection between preoperative keratometry and postoperative results of myopic small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE). To determine the influence of extreme (flat and steep) corneal keratometry on the safety and efficacy of SMILE, the databases of the Department of Ophthalmology, Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich, Germany, and SMILE Eyes Linz, Austria, were screened for patients with steep and flat keratometry who had undergone SMILE. In this cross-sectional matched comparative cohort study, eyes with markedly flat (
