Purpose

Purpose: The aim of this study is to improve visual acuity in pseudophacik (IOL) patients who have residual myopic refraction after 3 months of surgery using SMILE module.

Setting

Eye Hospital St”Selim Berisha” nn, Prishtine,Kosova Postal Code: 10000

Clinical trial Reg: NCT04693663

Methods

Methods :208 eyes of 150 consecutive patients who underwent pseudophakic (IOL) implantation such as trifocal, multifocal, and monofocal were included in this retrospective study. All residual myopic eyes underwent SMILE surgery

Results

Result: The age of patients was between 53 and 82 years, and the pre-operative residual myopic refraction was between -0.75 D and -5.50D.Two hundred eight eyes were followed after SMILE for two years.

There was a significant increase in UDVA(uncorrected visual acuity) from (0.51±0.18 to 0.01±0.02)LogMAR p<0.001). Moreover, patients satisfaction improved.

Conclusion

Conclussion: Smile surgery is the most reliable method in the treatment of pseudophakic residual refractions. It also increases patient satisfaction and vision in a short time.
