Show Description +

The first Circle procedure (Carl Zeiss Meditec) was performed on a high myope with an original refraction of -9.50 D. After the SMILE procedure, the patient still had a refractive error of -1.25 D. The Circle procedure was used to create the flap, and then the flap was lifted and excimer laser ablation was done to correct the -1.25 D. [No sound]
