All-in–one Femtosecond Laser Refractive Surgery

- LK beginning with barraquer in 1950

- Microkeratomes : 1980 – 1990 for ALK

and LK

- PRK :1988 used & 1995 approved

Lasik :Early 1990 ( Burratto & Pallikaris ) Advantages : - Short period of discomfort - Minimal wound –

healing reaction - Rapid visual recovery Microkeratom complication : - Button hole flap - Incomplete flap - Irregular flap - Flap displacement Femtosecond laser : ( photo disruption →

Gas bubble ) - More accurate flap - ↓ button hole & irregular

flap

Femtosecond Laser : in other corneal

surgeries - PK

- LK

- EK

- Tunnels of intrastromal rings

- Remove refractive lenticule within

the cornea

All-in-one Femtosecond Laser Refractive Surgery

1- Femtosecond lenticule extraction (FLE×)2- Small-incision lenticule extraction ( SMILE )

Surgical technique

- All-in-one FLRS - Myopia ( -10.00 ) - Myopic astigmatism (5) - Hyperopia (+6)

underway study.- Patient selection : same criteria as LASIK- Anterior surface of lenticule 80 µ below surface

like LASIK and lenticule diameter 5 – 7 mm and minimum lenticule edge 10 – 15 µ

- Side cut incision :FLE× : 280 – 330° SMILE : 30 – 50 °(sup or

sup.temp)

FIGURE 7. A, Initial separation of the posterior surface of the lenticule from the corneal bed in the FLEx procedure. Note that theflap has already been lifted. B, Peeling off the lenticule from the corneal bed in the FLEx procedure. C, The appearance of thecornea after the lenticule has been removed in the FLEx procedure. D, The appearance of the cornea at the end of the FLEx

procedure once the flap has been refloated back in place.

Complications

- Intraoperatively 1- Suction loss

Squeezing Fluid

ingress Gas

bubble

2- Wrong plane selected FLE×

SMILE

- Post operatively : - Fine scaring of flap & lenticule edge - Dry eye - Fine interface haze - Under and over correction

Results

- 500 eyes until november 2009

- Results are comparable with excimer

laser
