The flat-steep difference in corneal epithelial thickness (CET) is evident in the mid-peripheral and peripheral areas, which is more obvious in SMILE. Residual cylinder was positively correlated with CET in eyes that had FS-LASIK, but not SMILE. More importantly, these epithelial changes were positively correlated with the ablation depth and higher order aberrations following surgical refractive correction.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The postoperative CET map varied between SMILE and FS-LASIK. In eyes with high astigmatism, SMILE surgery is followed by milder and more stable corneal epithelial thickening. Moreover, the corneal epithelium is sensitive to stromal ablation and corneal remodeling is crucial to the postoperative visual quality. This study rigorously distinguished the CET difference between SMILE and FS-LASIK in astigmatic eyes and shed light on subsequent research. <b>[<i>J Refract Surg</i>. 2024;40(10);e728-e741.]</b>.</p>","PeriodicalId":16951,"journal":{"name":"Journal of refractive surgery","volume":"40 10","pages":"e728-e741"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142468325","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
