Short-term Observation of Intraocular Scattering and Bowman's Layer Microdistortions After SMILE-CCL

SMILE is a safe and efficient myopia correction method. SMILE has gained wide acceptance and developed rapidly in recent years. For example, Zhou et al.1 improved the lenticule separation and extraction procedures and developed the SMILE with continuous curvilinear lenticulerhexis (SMILE-CCL) technique. As described previously, the SMILE-CCL technique exhibits outcomes similar to or better than those of traditional SMILE. SMILE-CCL is more efficient and offers good-quality lenticule extraction and satifactory refractive outcomes.1,2 Bowman's layer microdistortions have been observed after both
