3 6/26/214 Introduction Femto SMILE lenticular extraction with the femtosecond laser is the real all LASER procedure. This involves making two lamellar cuts with a femtosecond laser to create an intrastromal lenticle of defined shape, which the surgeon removes. They create a huge optical zone and a slightly prolate cornea. a corneal lenticule is extracted through a single small incision 3-4 mm without lifting a flap. Introduction Advantages of femto Smile Can be done in relatively thin corneas. Post LASIK discomfort is minimal. Better tear film stability. Surgeon is free of nightmares regarding flap. Safe, effective, and predictable. Biomechanical stability. 3

4 6/26/214 Introduction Disadvantages & complications of femto Smile Suction loss >> short waiting period. Difficult touch up >> PRK. No tracker >> centration on visual axis. No customized profiles >> future company planes. Introduction 4

5 6/26/214 Home Aim of the work To analyze possible risk factors for loss of suction in cases treated by femto-smile for myopia and myopic astigmatism 5

6 6/26/214 Home Subjects & Methods Retrospective, Single center Roa ya vision correction center - Alexandria Multi-surgeon Case control study FEMTO-SMILE performed with the VisuMax 5kHz femtosecond laser system (Carl Zeiss Meditec). Cases with suction loss occurring during various stages were identified, different risk factors were analysed. 6

7 6/26/214 Subjects & Methods 7 eyes of 66 patients with suction loss during femto smile occurred between August 21 & April eyes were taken as a control and selected randomly from center data. Patient preoperative, operative & postoperative data recorded & then analysed. Subjects & Methods The following risk factors were analyzed; Demographic data age and sex, Eye Manifest refraction. Flat K, steep K. Optical zone. Central corneal thickness. Corneal Astigmatism. The results were tabulated and analyzed for any statistical significance. 7

14 6/26/214 Conclusion Surgeon Factor >> learning curve!! Patient Factor >> Patient education & assurance. Corneal & manifest astigmatism must be considered in cases of femto-smile. Machine factor >> Pump failure must be further studied. 14
