Purpose : To compare early postoperative visual outcomes and higher order aberrations (HOAs) between plasma and conventional keratorefractive lenticular extractions (P-KLEx(Plasma SMILE) and C-KLEx).
Conclusions : P-KLEx, which minimizes microcavitation and creates a lenticule with near-pure plasma, shows more favorable outcomes than C-KLEx, yielding better early postoperative visual acuities and reduced induction of corneal HOAs.
