SMILE Pro Surgery Outcomes for High vs. Moderate-to-Low Astigmatism

30 patients (60 eyes) underwent bilateral SMILE Pro surgery using the VISUMAX 800 platform. The study, authored by Yuchen Mei and published on figshare in June 2026, compares visual, refractive, and vector outcomes between eyes with high and moderate-to-low astigmatism at 6 months post-operation.

Use Cases

• Compare refractive outcomes like correction index and difference vector between astigmatism severity groups.
• Analyze higher-order aberrations such as spherical aberration and coma after SMILE Pro surgery.
• Evaluate the impact of automated cyclotorsion compensation on vector parameters like angle of error.
• Assess the relationship between intraoperative decentration and postoperative visual outcomes.

Strengths

• Includes data from 60 eyes, allowing for contralateral eye comparison within patients.
• Reports specific statistical results, such as a mean preoperative cylinder of 2.38 D in high astigmatism eyes.
• Provides 6-month follow-up data for key metrics like uncorrected distance visual acuity and residual cylinder.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The study's modest sample size of 30 patients is noted as a limitation in the source description.
