Aim: To study change in ocular surface indices in low and high myopia patient’s undergoing Small Incision Lenticule
Extraction (SMILE) surgery.
Materials and methods: This was a prospective interventional study. We included 100 myopia patients (50 low
myopia <5.0 D and 50 high myopia ≥ 5.0 D). Ocular Surface Disease Index Score (OSDI), Schirmer I Test (SIT)
and Tear Breakup Time (TBUT) and other parameters were noted one week before and one week, four weeks, three
months’ post-surgery.
Results: Mean values of SIT (mm/5 min) (low myopia is preoperative one week 29.6, postoperative one week 27.64,
four weeks 28.75, three months 29.8 and in high myopia is preoperative one week 30.39, postoperative one week
28.67, four weeks 28.85, three months 30.77) showed significant fall in post-oper.. View More»
