Comparison of effective optical zone after small-incision lenticule extraction and femtosecond laser–assisted laser in situ keratomileusis for myopia

Purpose To compare the effective optical zone (EOZ) after small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and femtosecond laser–assisted laser in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK). Setting Jinan Mingshui Eye Hospital, Jinan, China. Design Retrospective case series. Methods Myopic patients who had small-incision lenticule extraction or FS-LASIK were enrolled in this retrospective study. Effective OZs were measured at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months...
