Risk Factors for Opaque Bubble Layer in Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE)

Abstract

A low correction was a significant independent risk factor for OBL during SMILE and the effect of astigmatism on OBL was greater than that of myopia. Deepening the photodisruption plane appropriately may reduce the risk of OBL. [J Refract Surg. 2017;33(11):759-764.].
