Stromal keratophakia was first performed by José Ignacio Barraquer in the 1960s. The
refractive lamellar keratoplasty technique was intensely pursued in the 1980s as a method …

Small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) has become one of the mainstream refractive
surgeries in recent years, with satisfactory efficacy, safety, and predictability. SMILE-derived …

PURPOSE: To investigate 2-year visual outcomes, stability, and predictability after allogenic
lenticule implantation in a 100-µm pocket for moderate to high hyperopia correction …

Background Conventional mechanical or alcohol-assisted photorefractive keratectomy
(PRK) techniques for correction of hyperopia and hyperopic astigmatism were associated …

Purpose To quantitatively evaluate outcomes after small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE)
combined with allogeneic intrastromal lenticule inlay for hyperopia with astigmatism …

Based on the current literature, SMILE represents a viable surgical alternative to LASIK in
the correction of hyperopia. Lenticule intrastromal keratoplasty and small-incision lenticule …

Implantation of biological corneal inlays, derived from small incision lenticule extraction, may
be a feasible method for surgical management of refractive and corneal diseases. However …

PURPOSE: To investigate optical zone decentration following femtosecond laser–assisted
lenticule intrastromal keratoplasty (FS-LIKE) or small incision lenticule intrastromal …

Introduction Refractive stromal lenticules from Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE),
though usually discarded, hold a potential for various ophthalmic applications, including …

We evaluated the feasibility and performed a risk–benefit analysis of the storage and
widespread distribution of stromal lenticules for clinical application using a new systematic …
