Efficacy of Correcting Different Types of Astigmatism With Small Incision Lenticule Extraction: A Prospective Contralateral Eye Study
SMILE exhibited axis-specific efficacy patterns, with predictable astigmatic correction achieved in ATR and OA eyes, whereas WTR eyes demonstrated systematic undercorrection. These findings highlight the clinical relevance of preoperative axis evaluation, particularly in patients with interocular discordance.
