Corneal Cap Thickness and Its Effect on Visual Acuity and Corneal Biomechanics in Eyes Undergoing Small Incision Lenticule Extraction

Figure 5

Three-month-postoperative examination of confocal laser corneal microscopy for the same patient who underwent SMILE (more active keratocytes around the depth of 110 μm in OD was shown, but active keratocytes around the depth of 150 μm in OS was not so significant. Similar endothelium and nerve fiber distribution around the incision was also indicated). (a, e) 110 μm, (b, f) 110 μm, (c, g) 550 μm, and (d, h) around the incision.
