Changes in intraocular pressure and anterior chamber dimensions after 5-years of corneal refractive surgery.

ABSTRACT: This study aims to evaluate intraocular pressure (IOP) and anterior chamber dimensions (ACD) changes occurred after a 5-year period post femtosecond laser-assisted laser in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK) and small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE). Totally, 713 eyes of 361 myopic patients and 424 eyes of 212 control arms were retrospectively enrolled and classified into different groups according to the surgery methods and degrees of myopia. Of which, 549 underwent SMILE and 164 underwent FS-LASIK. IOP and AC indicators were tested. Depth (ACD), AC angle (ACA), AC volume (ACV) and central corneal thickness were evaluated before and 5-years post operation. The magnitudes of IOP, ACD, ACA, ACV and central corneal thickness decreased significantly postoperatively (all P < .05). In both of
