SMILE and Wavefront-Guided LASIK Out-Compete Other Refractive Surgeries in Ameliorating the Induction of High-Order Aberrations in Anterior Corneal Surface

Figure 1

Comparison of the total higher-order aberrations (HOAs) changes in four groups. Comparison of the induced total HOAs between wavefront-guided LASIK and both LASIK and femtosecond laser-assisted LASIK ( values are 0.001 and 0.023, resp.). Comparison of the induced total HOAs between small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and both LASIK and femtosecond laser-assisted LASIK ( values are < 0.001 and 0.018, resp.).
