Purpose.To compare dry eye disease following SMILE versus FS-LASIK.Design.Prospective, nonrandomised, observational study.Patients.90 patients undergoing refractive surgery for myopia were included. 47 eyes underwent SMILE and 43 eyes underwent FS-LASIK.Methods.Evaluation of dry eye disease was conducted preoperatively and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively, using the Salisbury Eye Evaluation Questionnaire (SEEQ) and TBUT.Results.TBUT reduced following SMILE at 1 and 3 months (p<0.001) and at 1, 3, and 6 months following FS-LASIK (p<0.001). TBUT was greater following SMILE than FS-LASIK at 3, 6, and 12 months (p<0.001,p<0.001, andp=0.009, resp.). SEEQ scores increased (greater symptoms) following SMILE at 1 month (p<0.001) and 3 months (p=0.003) and at 1, 3, and 6 months following FS-LASIK (p<0.001). SMILE produced lower SEEQ scores (fewer symptoms) than FS-LASIK at 1, 3, and 6 months (p<0.001).Conclusion.SMILE produces less dry eye disease than FS-LASIK at 6 months postoperatively but demonstrates similar degrees of dry eye disease at 12 months.

Aim: to analyze the prevalence of dry eye disease (DED) among adult patients with ametropias and the efficacy of its complex treatment when preparing the ocular surface for corneal refractive surgery.Patients and Methods: 1,762 patients with ametropias were examined. In addition to all of the standard eye checks, vital conjunctival and corneal staining, Scheimpflug corneal topography, and anterior segment OCT as well as patient survey were performed. Standard preservative-free tear substitutes with or without a short course of steroids, lubricants, 0.05% anionic cyclosporine emulsion (twice daily), and long-term punctal plugs were prescribed for DED.Results: mild DED was diagnosed in 1,021 patients (57.9%). Of them, corneal lesion was reported in 362 patients (35.4%) and asymptomatic DED in 250 patients (25.5%). Corneal topographic indices of one or both eyes were abnormal (as a result of DED) in 147 patients (14.4%). Significant (p≤0.05) increase in corneal epithelial thickness of one or both eyes was reported in 564 patients (55.2%). Ocular surface treatment in DED patients allowed for uncomplicated corneal refractive procedures while target refraction was achieved in 1,006 patients (98.5%). Conclusion: a complex diagnostic approach to DED involving specific tests, patient survey, corneal topography, and OCT provides the diagnosis of both manifest and latent DED. Combined treatment for conjunctival and corneal xerosis that includes tear substitutes, topical cyclosporine, and punctal plugs, improves ocular surface health in DED thus enlarging the list of indications and the safety of laser eye surgery in these patients.Keywords: dry eye disease, laser eye surgery, corneal refractive procedures, anionic cyclosporine emulsion, punctal plugs, corneal epithelium.For citation: Klokova O.A., Damashauskas R.O., Geidenrich M.S.
