Factors Affecting Visual Outcome after Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE) Pro
SMILE Pro results in promising visual outcome in early postoperative period. Patients with low to moderate myopia have better visual outcomes than those with high myopia. A small OZ, thin cap thickness, and low RST could increase the risk of not achieving the maximum visual outcome after SMILE. A prospective study with a longer follow-up period that includes comprehensive variables is needed to fully understand the factors affecting visual acuity after SMILE.
