Doble lentículo como complicación de cirugía refractiva tipo SMILE

Double lenticule as a complication of SMILE

“…

Dear editor, We read with interest the excellent clinical case of Raya Hernández et al 1 regarding a perioperative complication during refractive lenticule extraction (ReLEx) in its small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE, by its acronym in English) mode, which was published in September 2016 in the "In press" section of the online version of the Revista Mexicana de Oftalmología, and we would like to comment on its discussion and conclusions, since they are described in the conclusions of the work by Ramirez-Miranda et al 2 published in the Cornea journal in October 2015 (originally presented at the VII World Cornea Congress in San Diego, California, April 2015). In our study 2 we included an evaluation of 254 eyes with ReLEx, of which the SMILE group included 160 eyes with an average follow-up of 36 months.
