Abstract

Aim: Evaluating the results of ReLEx SMILE surgery to treat severe myopia at DND International Eye Hospital. Subjects and methods: Retrospective design on 105 patients with 210 severely myopic eyes undergoing ReLEx SMILE surgery from June 2022 to June 2023 at the Refractive Department of DND International Eye Hospital. Results: The majority of patients' treatment results gradually improved and stabilized through follow-up visits. At the 6-month follow-up visit, 94.8% of eyes achieved visual acuity of 20/30 or better. The safety and effectiveness index are 1.22 ± 0.087 and 1.203 ± 0.093. There were 24 eyes, accounting for 11.4%, that were prescribed peripheral retinal laser before and 6 months after surgery. Possible complications during surgery include loss of suction pressure, accounting for 1.4%, and 6.4% of eyes have adhesions at the cut surface. Conclusion: ReLEx SMILE surgery to treat severe myopia is an effective method in treating myopia with femtosecond laser.
