Objective To compare the dry eye situations after femtosecond laser small incision lenticule extraction(SMILE) and femtosecond laser in situ keratomileusis(FS-LASKI) for myopia. Methods 68 myopic patients in our hospital from September 2017 to September 2018 were selected and divided into SMILE group(38 cases) and FS-LASIK(30 cases). SMILE group was underwent SMILE surgery while FS-LASIK group was underwent FS-LASIK surgery. The tearbreak-up-test(TBUT) and Schirmer I test at 1-month, 3-month and 6-month after surgery were compared between the two group. Results The results that TBUT and Schirmer I test were both significantly lower than preoperative levels in both groups and recovered over time. Both of them recovered faster in SMILE group than in FS-LASIK group and the difference is significant(P<0.05). Conclusion SMILE surgery is better than FS-LASIK surgery in the matter of dry eye.
