Application of the SMILE-Derived Glued Lenticule Patch Graft in Microperforations and Partial-Thickness Corneal Defects

Abstract

The patch graft from the SMILE-derived lenticule using fibrin glue seems to serve as a safe, feasible, and inexpensive surgical option for the management of microperforations and complicated corneal tears, especially in centers that perform the SMILE procedure in large numbers.
