Abstract Background To compare postoperative clinical outcomes of high myopia after being treated by Small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and femtosecond laser in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK).Methods Comprehensive studies were conducted on the PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and Chinese databases.Trials meeting the selection criteria were quality appraised, and the data were extracted by 2 independent authors, and the RevMan 5.3 version software were used in analyzing.Result Ten studies involving 637 patients (1093 eyes;575 eyes in the SMILE group and 518 eyes in the FS-LASIK group) were included in this meta-analysis. Pooled result revealed no significant differences in the following outcomes: the logMAR values of postoperative UDVA(WMD = -0.01, 95% CI: -0.02,0.00, I²=0%, P = 0.10 at postoperative 1mo; WMD =-0.01, 95% CI: -0.00 to 0.01, I²=0%,P = 0.35 at postoperative 3mo; WMD = -0.01, 95% CI:-0.02 to 0.01, I²=17%,P = 0.26 at long term), the logMAR values of postoperative CDVA(WMD = -0.02, 95% CI, -0.04 to 0.00, I²=0%, P = 0.11),and the postoperative mean refractive SE (WMD =0.02, 95% CI:0.04 to 0.08, I²=29%, P=0.60) . In the long-term observation, postoperative tHOA (WMD =-0.10, 95% CI:-0.13 to -0.07, I²=15%, P<0.00001)and postoperative spherical aberration (WMD =-0.13, 95% CI:--0.17 to -0.09, I²=38%, P<0.00001) were found to be less in the SMILE group compared with the FS-LASIK group, but no significant difference was found in postoperative coma (WMD =-0.02, 95% CI:-0.04 to 0.00, I²=98%, P=0.40).We also found greater PCE change post FS-LASIK than SMILE at long term follow-ups(WMD =-0.69, 95% CI:-1.36 to -0.01, I²=0%, P<0.05, however, there was no significant difference between the two groups at 3- or 6- months.(WMD =-0.19, 95% CI:-0.41 to 0.03, I²=31%, P=0.09;WMD =-0.20, 95% CI:-0.50 to 0.10, I²=17%, P=0.20)Conclusion For patients with high myopia, both SMILE and FS-LASIK are safe and efficacious. However, SMILE induced less tHOA and spherical aberration compared with FS-LASIK. Besides, FS-LASIK showed a greater increase in PCE than SMILE only at long term follow-ups. It remains to be seen whether the patients can get a better visual quality after SMILE and more comparative studies focused on high myopia is necessary.

Aim To compare postoperative clinical outcomes of high myopia after small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and femtosecond laser-assisted laser in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK). Methods From March 2018 to July 2020, PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and several Chinese databases were comprehensively searched. The studies meeting the criteria were selected and included; the data were extracted by 2 independent authors. The clinical outcome parameters were analyzed with RevMan 5.3. Results This meta-analysis included twelve studies involving 766 patients (1400 eyes: 748 receiving SMILE and 652 receiving FS-LASIK). Pooled results revealed no significant differences in the following outcomes: the logarithm of the mean angle of resolution (logMAR) of postoperative uncorrected distance visual acuity (weighted mean difference (WMD) = -0.01, 95% confidence interval (CI): -0.02 to 0.00, I2 = 0%, P = 0.07 at 1 mo; WMD = -0.00, 95% CI: -0.01 to 0.01, I2 = 0%, P = 0.83 at 3 mo; WMD = -0.00, 95% CI: -0.01 to 0.00, I2 = 32%, P = 0.33 in the long term), and the postoperative mean refractive spherical equivalent (WMD = -0.03, 95% CI: -0.09 to 0.03, I2 = 13%, P = 0.30). However, the SMILE group had significantly better postoperative corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) than the FS-LASIK group (WMD = -0.04, 95% CI, -0.05 to -0.02, I2 = 0%, P<0.00001). In the long term, postoperative total higher-order aberration (WMD = -0.09, 95% CI: -0.10 to -0.07, I2 = 7%, P<0.00001) and postoperative spherical aberration (WMD = -0.15, 95% CI: -0.19 to -0.11, I2 = 29%, P<0.00001) were lower in the SMILE group than in the FS-LASIK group; a significant difference was also found in postoperative coma (WMD = -0.05, 95% CI: -0.06 to -0.03, I2 = 30%, P<0.00001). Conclusion For patients with high myopia, both SMILE and FS-LASIK are safe, efficacious and predictable. However, the SMILE group demonstrated advantages over the FS-LASIK group in terms of postoperative CDVA, while SMILE induced less aberration than FS-LASIK. It remains to be seen whether SMILE can provide better visual quality than FS-LASIK; further comparative studies focused on high myopia are necessary.

Purpose. The purpose of this study is to test binocular visual function after femtosecond laser small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) for high myopia. The traditional Titmus stereotest and dynamic stereotest based on the visual perception biological model were used for comparative analysis. Methods. A total of 43 patients were enrolled in this prospective study. At Week 1, Month 1, and Month 3 after surgery, the Titmus stereotest and dynamic stereotest generated by MATLAB were conducted. Dynamic stereopsis consists of randomly flickering Gabor spots and is divided into two models of high energy and low energy according to flicker frequency. Results. The preoperative manifest refraction spherical equivalent was −7.21 ± 0.70 D. The preoperative anisometropia was 0.52 ± 0.54D. The quartiles of static stereoacuity in preoperation and 3 follow-ups were as follows: 50.00 (25.00, 100.00) in preoperation, 63.00 (40.00, 63.00) at Week 1, 40.00 (32.00, 63.00) at Month 1, and 40.00 (25.00, 50.00) at Month 3. Static stereopsis improved at Month 1 and Month 3 compared with preoperation and Week 1 ( P < 0.05 ). There were statistically significant differences in high energy dynamic stereopsis at Week 1 and Month 1 compared to preoperation ( P < 0.05 ). In addition, significant differences in low energy dynamic stereopsis were detected between Month 1 and preoperation and also at Month 3 compared to Month 1 ( P < 0.05 ). Conclusion. Most high myopia patients have a dynamic stereopsis deficiency before refractive correction. SMILE surgery can improve both static and dynamic stereopsis early in the postoperation period. However, in the long term, there is no significant difference or even a decrease in dynamic stereopsis.
