Abstract
Keratorefractive Lenticule Extraction (KLEx) is a cutting-edge refractive surgery technique that has garnered considerable attention in recent years due to its minimally invasive nature and the absence of a corneal flap, both of which are notable advantages over traditional Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) surgery. Currently, the technology for myopia correction using KLEx has been refined and is widely recognized. Consequently, hyperopic KLEx surgery is highly anticipated, having undergone nearly a decade of evolution and development, and it appears to have finally achieved stable and reliable postoperative outcomes. This article reviews the emerging hyperopic KLEx in terms of clinical outcomes, challenges, complications, and outlook.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Cataract & Refractive Surgery (JCRS), a preeminent peer-reviewed monthly ophthalmology publication, is the official journal of the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) and the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS).
JCRS publishes high quality articles on all aspects of anterior segment surgery. In addition to original clinical studies, the journal features a consultation section, practical techniques, important cases, and reviews as well as basic science articles.
