Refractive lenticule extraction flap and stromal bed morphology assessment with anterior segment optical coherence tomography

Abstract: A significant difference in stromal bed thickness between femtosecond lenticule extraction and small-incision femtosecond lenticule extraction was detectable by AS-OCT 1 week postoperatively.

“…24 The lenticular thickness depends on the refractive error of the patient. Also, the thickness of the lenticule is maximum in the center and decreases toward the periphery, as described in a study by Tay et al 25 In our technique of CXL using the refractive lenticule, the lenticule is placed over the deepithelised surface of the cornea so that the thickest portion of the lenticule corresponds to the thinnest portion of the cornea. Therefore, thickness of the cornea is increased in the most physiologic manner by adding stromal tissue, with biologic and absorptive properties similar to the cornea that has to be treated.…”

“…Furthermore, in one study, no significant changes were observed in central cap or stromal bed thickness for 6 months after surgery [42]. We recently evaluated corneal sublayer thicknesses after ReLEx smile and ReLEx flex [39] and found no significant difference in cap or stromal bed thickness 6 months after surgery.…”

“…A planar and uniform flap is generally considered important in flap-based keratorefrative surgery, and three studies have found the cap to be of nearly uniform thickness and similar to the flap after ReLEx flex or FS-LASIK [15,41,42]. Furthermore, in one study, no significant changes were observed in central cap or stromal bed thickness for 6 months after surgery [42].…”

“…Операция SPS позволяет сохранить поверхност-ный лоскут с прецизионно точной и ровной толщиной на всем протяжении, с отсутствием остатков вновь сфор-мированной лентикулы и микрострий, что связано со стабильностью периферии роговицы и достаточно ма-лым корнеальным разрезом [1,6,9].…”
