Aruma A, Li M, Choi J, et al. - In this retrospective study, researchers compared 1-year visual outcomes after implantable collamer lens V4c (EVO-ICL) implantation and small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) for moderate myopia. Sixty-seven eyes of 39 patients with a preoperative manifest refraction spherical equivalent between − 3.00 and − 6.00 diopters (D) were chosen from a database of SMILE and ICL implantation procedures conducted from April 2018 to December 2018. In correcting moderate myopia, both SMILE and ICL implantation provided good safety, efficacy, and predictability. Halos after ICL and starbursts and blurred vision after SMILE were the most common subjective visual complaints. There were no complications found.
