Visual outcomes for the initial 500 eyes treated with keratorefractive lenticule extraction (KLEx) for myopia and myopic astigmatism at a single-site

Key Points

Visual outcomes demonstrate effective correction of myopia and myopic astigmatism over 12 months.
In the cohort studied, outcomes are consistent with FDA benchmarks for safety and effectiveness.
Observational analysis on the treatment includes 500 eyes underwent keratorefractive lenticule extraction.
Findings highlight the potential need for enhancements in cylindrical correction methods.

Abstract

KLEx demonstrates predictable and safe correction of myopia and myopic astigmatism over 12 months in a US cohort. Visual outcomes meet or exceed FDA benchmarks and are consistent with published literature, although a potential need for improved cylindrical correction remains.
