| Popis: | Background and Aims: Refractive eye surgery is a rapidly expanding field of ophthalmology and corneal surgery is undergoing constant development leading to less invasive technologies. The goal of this study was to compare the most common femtoLASIK surgery with the newer ReLEx SMILE surgery which is gentler to the cornea. The comparison was made in terms of dioptric error reduction. Methods: The studied cohort of patients consisted of two major groups: 30 patients who underwent femtoLASIK surgery and 30 who underwent ReLEx SMILE surgery. -30 patients, 60 eyes. All patients were aged 18-45 years with moderate myopia or astigmatism ranging from -3.25 to -6.0 spherical diopters and from 0 to -1.0 cylindrical diopters. In all, the best corrected visual acuity measured prior to surgery was 1.0. Pachymetry was not comparable because each surgical method was performed at a different time point and the introduction of an innovative method into practice led to a change in selection criteria. Results: During postsurgical check-ups, the ReLEx SMILE method (0.74) led to lower values of non-corrected visual acuity compared to the femtoLASIK method (0.88), (P |
