Popis: Abstract Accuracy of planned corneal stromal thickness (CST) reduction is essential to the safety of laser vision correction. This study was to compare the accuracy of the planned central CST reduction in small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK). A total of 77 patients (43 for SMILE, 34 for FS-LASIK using Custom-Q algorithm) were included in this retrospective study. At postoperative 6–18 months, the central CST reduction was overestimated by 18.49 ± 6.42 μm in the SMILE group (P
