Over the past decade, small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) has revolutionized the field of keratorefractive surgery. With the promise of superior corneal biomechanics and reduced postoperative dry eye, SMILE afforded a distinct advantage over flap-based procedures. Our evolving understanding of the surgical technique and management of its unique complications has further enhanced the outcomes. This review will highlight specific pearls on various preoperative and intraoperative principles allowing optimization of outcomes with SMILE.
在过去的十年中，小切口微透镜提取术（SMILE）彻底改变了角膜屈光手术领域。SMILE 具有优越的角膜生物力学和减少术后干眼的优势，与基于瓣的手术相比具有明显优势。我们对手术技术的不断理解及其独特并发症的管理进一步提高了手术效果。本文将重点介绍各种术前和术中原则的具体要点，以优化 SMILE 的手术效果。
