Small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) becomes a procedure to correct myopia. The
extracted lenticule can be used for other clinical scenarios. To prepare for allogeneic …

Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility of excimer laser reshaping of biological lenticules
available after small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE). Methods: Fresh and …

Corneal stromal lenticule is a part of corneal stroma, which can be created by manual
dissection, by femtosecond laser from the donor cornea, but chiefly it is a waste product of a …

The scarcity of corneal tissue to treat deep corneal defects and corneal perforations remains
a challenge. Currently, small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE)-derived lenticules appear …

A transparent cornea is paramount for vision. Corneal opacity is one of the leading causes of
blindness. Although conventional corneal transplantation has been successful in recovering …

Corneal inlays are a relatively new treatment option for presbyopia. Using biological inlays,
derived from lenticules extracted from small incision lenticule extraction, may offer …

AIM To review recent innovations, challenges, and applications of small incision lenticule
extraction (SMILE) extracted lenticule for treating ocular disorders. METHODS A literature …

Purpose: To investigate the feasibility of allotransplanting extracted lenticules after
femtosecond laser-assisted small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) in rabbits and the …

Blinding corneal scarring is predominately treated with allogeneic graft tissue; however,
there is a worldwide shortage of donor tissue leaving millions in need of therapy. Human …

Purpose. To establish an optimized and standardized protocol for the development of
optimal scaffold for bioengineering corneal substitutes, we used femtosecond laser to …
