Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to carry out an international multicenter trial to get more convincing and valuable results of the SMILE surgery and compare the outcomes between the SMILE surgery and the FS-LASIK (femtosecond laser assisted-laser in situ keratomileusis) surgery.
The investigators hope to investigate the differences between the SMILE and the FS-LASIK surgery comprehensively, including the comparison of visual acuity, refraction, the correction of cylindrical diopter, the high order aberrations, the corneal biomechanics, the corneal ectasia, the characteristics of the changes of central corneal thickness and the complications. To meet the demands of a multi center trial, all the examination equipments should be same in each center, and this will limit the variations within a study

Detailed Description:
Hypothesis: To compare the novel refractive surgery (SMILE, the intervention group) with traditional refractive surgery (FS-LASIK, the control group) in terms of visual acuity, the higher order aberrations, corneal biomechanical parameters and the complications. SMILE surgery might offer some advantages in some aspects compared with FS-LASIK surgery.
Study program
The procedures of the study are listed as follows:
All the participants accept the refractive surgery which were selected at first, and patients' routine postoperative examinations included UCVA, BCVA, slit lamp microscopy, non-contact IOP, corneal topography with the Scheimpflug tomography system, ocular higher order aberrations using the WASCA analyzer (Carl Zeiss Meditec AG), corneal biomechanical properties acquired by the Ocular Response Analyzer and/or the Corvis ST (Corvis ST, OCULUS, Wetzlar, Germany) at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months follow-up periods after surgery.
Statistics:
Patients who have decided to choose the SMILE surgery or the FS-LASIK will be selected as participants. The propensity matching method will be used to choose proper cases for the two groups. The propensity matching method can be calculated by SPSS software. The independent variables include: the central corneal thickness (CCT), the Km (mean Pentacam keratometry), the spherical diopter (from manifest refraction), and the cylindrical diopter (from manifest refraction), the UCVA, the BCVA, the corneal resistance factor (CRF) and the corneal hysteresis (CH) (if the investigator have the Ocular Response Analyzer) of the cornea at preoperative. The closest score of eyes in the two groups will be matched.
The data will be preserved by each site, and will be systematically collected and analyzed by TianjinEH center. The statistical expert Dr Hayes from American Pacific University will be the statistical consultant, and will also in charge of the sample size calculation, the instructor of statistical analysis, and the quality control.
