ABSTRACT
A retrospective assessment of the visual acuity (UCVA) variations in bare eyes of the refractive error cases treated with SMILE, LASIK and WF-LASIK. A retrospective selection of 126 patients with refractive error treated by refractive surgery admitted to our hospital between January 2019 and December 2021 were divided into three separate sets of patients according to their surgical methods: the SMILE cohort, the LASIK cohort, and the WF-LASIK cohort, and the three sets of patients were analyzed for bare eye visual acuity, refraction, higher-order aberration, BUT, SIt index, and complications, and the recovery effects of patients with the three surgical procedures. All three types of refractive surgery, SMILE, LASIK and WF-LASIK, can yield good surgical results in the reduction of refractive error, and patients with SMILE have better postoperative tear film stability, while patients with WF-LASIK have the best postoperative visual quality.
