Excerpt

Refractive lenticule extraction (RELEX) is a relatively new surgical method for the treatment of myopia and myopic astigmatism [1]. The procedure is currently only available in the Visumax femtosecond laser platform (Carl Zeiss Meditec AG, Jena, Germany). Two types of RELEX procedure are available in this platform: femtosecond lenticule extraction (FLEX) and small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE). The best way to treat residual refractive errors after RELEX is not clear so far. As enhancement after laserin situ keratomileusis (LASIK) can be performed safely and effectively by lifting the primary LASIK flap, the same method seems to be reasonable for FLEX. …
