Effect of small incision lenticule extraction on the treatment of myopia patients and the impact on corneal biomechanics

摘要:

目的：探讨飞秒激光小切口角膜基质透镜取出术(SMILE)治疗近视患者的效果及对角膜生物力学的影响。

方法：回顾性研究。选择2020-01/2021-12在安阳市眼科医院拟行角膜屈光手术的近视患者120例240眼。根据手术治疗方式分为SMILE组64例128眼，经上皮准分子激光角膜切削术(TransPRK)组56例112眼。比较两组患者术后1、7 d，1、3、6 mo，1 a的裸眼视力、角膜生物力学、角膜内皮细胞数目、角膜后表面高度、角膜表面规则指数、手术并发症。

结果：SMILE组患者术后1、7 d，1 mo裸眼视力均优于TransPRK组(均P<0.001)，但两组术后3、6 mo，1 a均无差异(均P>0.05)。与术前相比，两组患者术后的角膜补偿眼压、模拟Goldmann眼压、角膜阻力因子、角膜滞后量呈先下降后升高趋势。SMILE组术后1、7 d，1 mo角膜补偿眼压、模拟Goldmann眼压、角膜阻力因子、角膜滞后量均高于TransPRK组(均P<0.05)，但术后3、6 mo，1 a均无差异(均P>0.05)。手术前后两组患者角膜内皮细胞数目、角膜后表面高度均无差异(均P>0.05)。与术前相比，两组患者术后角膜表面规则指数呈先升高后降低趋势，但组间比较无差异(P>0.05)。两组患者术后并发症发生率比较无差异(P>0.05)。

结论：相比TransPRK，SMILE对角膜生物力学的影响较小，早期视力恢复效果更好，两种手术的远期视力无差异，均有良好的安全性和有效性。

Abstract:

AIM:To investigate the effect of small incision lenticule extraction(SMILE)on the treatment of myopia patients, and the impact on corneal biomechanics.

METHODS:Retrospective study. A total of 120 myopic patients(240 eyes)who were scheduled to undergo corneal refractive surgery in Anyang Eye Hospital from January 2020 to December 2021 were selected. The patients were divided into SMILE group(64 patients, 128 eyes)and transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy(TransPRK)group(56 patients, 112 eyes)according to the surgical treatment method. The two groups were compared in terms of uncorrected visual acuity, corneal biomechanics, corneal endothelial cell count, posterior corneal surface height and corneal surface regularity index at 1, 7 d, 1, 3, 6 mo and 1 a after surgery, and surgical complications.

RESULTS:The uncorrected visual acuity of the SMILE group at 1, 7 d and 1 mo after surgery was better than that of the TransPRK group(all P<0.001), but there was no statistically significant difference between the groups at 3, 6 mo and 1 a after surgery(all P>0.05). Compared with preoperative values, corneal-compensated intraocular pressure, Goldmann-correlated intraocular pressure, corneal resistance factor, and corneal hysteresis in both groups showed a first decreasing and then increasing trend after surgery. The corneal-compensated intraocular pressure, Goldmann-correlated intraocular pressure, corneal resistance factor, and corneal hysteresis in the SMILE group at 1, 7 d and 1 mo after surgery were higher than those in the TransPRK group(all P<0.05), but there was no statistically significant difference between the groups at 3, 6 mo and 1 a after surgery(all P>0.05). There were no significant changes of corneal endothelial cell count and corneal posterior surface height in the two groups after surgery(all P>0.05). Furthermore, corneal surface regularity index of the two groups showed a first increasing and then decreasing trend after surgery, with no statistically significant difference between the groups(P>0.05), and there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of postoperative complications between the groups(P>0.05).

CONCLUSION:Compared with TransPRK, SMILE has less influence on corneal biomechanics, and better visual recovery in the early stage. There is no difference in long-term visual acuity between the two surgeries, and both have good safety and effectiveness.
