“…Keratoplasty in corneal thinning and perforation Corneal thinning and perforation may result in permanent vision loss, and immediate surgical intervention is needed to prevent catastrophic consequences such as endophthalmitis [12] . Temporary therapies for this situation including corneal gluing [13][14][15] , bandage contact lenses [16][17][18][19] , amniotic membrane transplantation [20][21][22] , scleral graft, and conjunctival flap [23][24][25][26] have unsatisfactory long-term results. Furthermore, tectonic lamellar or penetrating keratoplasty (PK) is the most recommended treatment for most patients with extensive corneal lesions [27][28] .…”

AIM: To review recent innovations, challenges, and applications of small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) extracted lenticule for treating ocular disorders. METHODS: A literature review was performed in the PubMed database, which was last updated on 30 December 2021. There was no limit regarding language. The authors evaluated the reference lists of the collected papers to find any relevant research. RESULTS: Due to the simplicity and accuracy of modern femtosecond lasers and the extensive development of SMILE surgery, many healthy human corneal stromal lenticules were extracted during surgery, motivating some professionals to investigate the SMILE lenticule reusability in different ocular disorders. In addition, new approaches had been developed to preserve, modify, and bioengineer the corneal stroma, leading to the optimal use of discarded byproducts such as lenticules from SMILE surgery. The lenticules can be effectively re-implanted into the autologous or allogenic corneas of human subjects to treat refractive errors, corneal ectasia, and corneal perforation and serve as a patch graft for glaucoma drainage devices with better cosmetic outcomes. CONCLUSION: SMILE-extracted lenticules could be a viable alternative to human donor corneal tissue.

Purpose: To compare the efficacy of two different silicone hydrogel bandage contact lenses on ocular surface after small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) surgery. Methods: In this prospective, double-masked, contralateral, comparative clinical study, 25 patients who received SMILE in both eyes wore two different silicone hydrogel bandage contact lenses (BCLs): balafilcon A in one eye and samfilcon A in the other randomly. The scores of BCL deposits on the lens surface and the level of ocular discomfort were assessed on the first day after surgery. Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI), the 5-Item Dry Eye Questionnaire (DEQ-5), corneal sensitivity, ocular surface parametersand tear inflammatory mediators were assessed preoperatively and 1 day, 1 week, and 1 month postoperatively. Results: The scores of BCL deposits were lower in the samfilcon A group than that in the balafilcon A group (samfilcon A vs. balafilcon A: 1.28±0.68 vs. 2.56±0.82, P=0.045). There were no significant differences in subjective symptoms scores, OSDI scores, DEQ-5 scores, corneal sensitivity, ocular surface parameters or tear inflammatory mediators between the BCLs postoperatively (p>0.05). Conclusion: Both samfilcon A and balafilcon A contact lenses are safe with equivalent efficacy on ocular surface after SMILE. Samfilcon A caused significantly less deposits after SMILE.
