- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method SMILE has a lower induction rate of higher-order aberrations and spherical aberration than the FS-LASIK procedure. The topographic optical zone was reduced from the programmed ablation zone in SMILE compared to LASIK.Timepoint: DAY 1,15,90, 180 <br/ ><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The topographic optical zone was reduced from the programmed ablation zone in SMILE compared to LASIK.Timepoint: DAY 1, 15, 90, 180
