Creation of small incision using CIRCLE software to manage suction loss during small-incision lenticule extraction

A 26-year-old woman presented for correction of her refractive error. Small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) was planned for both eyes. Toward the end of cap interface cut in her right eye, unstable suction resulting in intrusion of conjunctival tissue under the contact interface was noted.
