Corneal epithelialinduced by combined small incision lenticule extraction and accelerated corneal collagen crosslinking for myopia.

It is significant as the first study to compare corneal epithelial remodeling between SMILE and SMILE with accelerated corneal collagen crosslinking. The SMILE-xtra with the relatively large corneal ablation did not show a significant difference in the pattern of corneal epithelial remodeling compared to the SMILE group.
