Changes in Corneal Volume at Different Areas and Its Correlation with Corneal Biomechanics after SMILE and FS-LASIK Surgery.

Conclusions: Dynamic changes in corneal volume were found after SMILE and FS-LASIK surgery. The central region significantly increased after SMILE, while both central and peripheral regions increased following FS-LASIK in the early postoperative period. SMILE was associated with less change in biomechanical properties per unit of reduction in CV compared with FS-LASIK. PMID: 32411425 [PubMed]
