Comparison of Low Laser Energy Dose in KLEx: Short-term Clinical Results, Video Analysis, and Histologic Study of Lenticules

Key Points

• This research aims to compare the effects of different low laser energy settings on visual recovery and surface quality during KLEx surgery.
• Conducted KLEx surgery using the ATOS device with varied pulse energy levels.
• Applied asymmetric spacing settings during the procedure.
• Performed video analysis and histologic examination of lenticules.
• Lower energy settings resulted in faster early visual recovery.
• The L-group demonstrated smoother lenticule surfaces compared to the VL-group.
• Increased surface roughness was observed in the VL-group.
