“…The visual outcomes of SMILE generally parallel those of LASIK, characterized by exceptional postoperative visual acuity and refractive outcomes [19][20][21]. A comparative study between SMILE and LASIK revealed that approximately 90%-95% of patients achieved uncorrected distance visual acuity of 20/20 within the initial day following SMILE surgery [21].…”

This review provides a comparative analysis of visual outcomes and complications associated with three prominent refractive surgical techniques: intraocular collamer lens (ICL) implantation, small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE), and laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Refractive surgeries aim to correct myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism, offering patients an alternative to corrective lenses. The review highlights the importance of comparing these procedures to guide clinical decision-making effectively. Each technique is described, emphasizing its unique advantages and considerations. While LASIK remains widely favored for its rapid visual recovery and high patient satisfaction, ICL is suitable for patients with higher refractive errors or corneal irregularities. Although relatively newer, SMILE shows promise with potential benefits such as corneal biomechanical stability and a reduced risk of dry eye syndrome. However, each procedure carries its distinct complications, reinforcing the need for personalized patient care and informed decision-making. Understanding these techniques' relative efficacy and safety profiles is essential for optimizing outcomes and enhancing patient satisfaction. Continued advancements in technology and surgical techniques promise further improvements in refractive surgery outcomes, underscoring the importance of ongoing research and innovation.

Surface ablation laser surgery has resurged in popularity recently because of its safety in correcting myopia and favorable postoperative corneal biomechanical properties. This study aimed to investigate the current focal points and future trends in surface ablation laser surgery over the last 2 decades. The Web of Science Core Collection was used as the primary data source to retrieve literature related to surface ablation laser surgery. All records, including full records and reference details, were exported in plain text format. VOSvivewer, CiteSpace, and Pajek were used to perform the bibliometric and visual analyses of the countries/regions, institutions, authors, journals, and keywords of relevant publications. A total of 3415 articles on surface ablation laser surgery were published in 253 journals. These articles were authored by 9681 individuals from 2751 institutions across 79 countries. The United States leads in terms of productivity and influence in this field. The Tehran University of Medical Sciences and Kymion GD were the most productive institutions and authors, whereas the University of Crete and Randleman JB were the most influential. The Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery was the most productive and influential in this area, and citation analysis revealed that the top 10 most-cited references focused primarily on postoperative wound healing and wavefront aberration. The keywords were grouped into the following 5 clusters: clinical effects and complications, special indications, iatrogenic corneal ectasia, haze, and pain management. High-frequency keywords in recent years included transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy, retreatment, transepithelial phototherapeutic keratectomy, and biomechanical properties. This bibliometric analysis examined the development trends, global cooperation, research hotspots, and future directions of surface ablation over the past 20 years.
