We describe a case of unilateral corneal ectasia in a 26-year-old man following small-
incision lenticule extraction. The preoperative corneal topography was normal, with a …

The procedure of small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) was introduced in 2011, and
since then there has been an increase in the number of cases undergoing this procedure …
