Résumé
Our purpose is to provide a comprehensive investigation into the incidence, treatment modalities, and visual prognosis of epithelial-related complications in corneal refractive surgeries, including laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), and small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE). A systematic search of multiple databases was conducted by two independent examiners using various search terms related to epithelial-related complications and corneal refractive surgeries. A total of 91 research articles were included, encompassing a sample size of 66,751 eyes across the three types of surgeries. The average incidence of epithelial-related complications varied across the different types of corneal refractive surgeries. LASIK had an average incidence of 4.9% for epithelial defects, while PRK and SMILE had lower rates of 3.3% and 3.9%, respectively. Our findings indicate that SMILE has a lower incidence of epithelial defects compared to LASIK, potentially due to the less invasive nature of lenticule incision in SMILE. Visual prognosis after epithelial complications (EC) is generally favorable, with various supportive care and surgical interventions leading to significant improvements in postoperative visual acuity and full recovery. Understanding the incidence rates and management approaches for epithelial-related complications can guide clinicians in enhancing patient safety, refining surgical techniques, and optimizing postoperative outcomes in corneal refractive surgeries.
