Purpose
The aim of this retrospective quality management investigation was to evaluate the first visual outcomes in low, moderate and high myopia for Smile Pro using the Visumax 800 regarding safety, predictability and efficacy. Furthermore, complications and duration of the procedure were recorded.
Setting
All surgeries were performed by one surgeon at the Breyer-Kaymak-Klabe Eye Surgery and Premium Eyes in Duesseldorf, Germany, member of the International Vision Correction Research Center (IVCRC.net).
Methods
The SMILE Pro procedure was performed for the first time on 150 consecutive operated eyes using the Visumax 800 femtosecond laser from CARL ZEISS Meditec to correct myopia. Follow-up was performed three months postoperatively to evaluate safety, predictability and efficacy, as well as to determine the duration of the procedure and the complication rate.
Results
The data will be presented in detail at ESCRS 2023 in Vienna. There was no loss of 2 lines of vision in any subgroup, efficacy and predictability were very high. No complications occurred. No touch up procedure had to be performed. The average operation time was 10 seconds.
Conclusions
The initial clinical data show excellent results in all subgroups without complications or the need for follow-up surgery. The extremely short laser duration of only 10 seconds is very comfortable for both the patient and the surgeon.
