SMILE and ICL implantation on the ocular surface and meibomian glands in patients with postoperative myopia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Objectively compare the changes in ocular surface parameters in myopic patients who have undergone either SMILE or Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL V4c) surgery.

Methods

This prospective cohort study enrolled 32 patients (32 eyes) undergoing SMILE surgery and 35 patients (35 eyes) receiving ICL V4c intraocular lenses. Examinations were performed at preoperative, 1-week, 1-month, and 3-month postoperative time points. The assessments included Schirmer's I Test (SIt), First Non-Invasive Break-Up Time (First-NIBUT), Average Non-Invasive Break-Up Time (Average-NIBUT), Tear Meniscus Height (TMH), Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) score, conjunctival congestion score, meibomian gland loss score, lipid layer analysis score, lid margin opening detection score, and corneal
