Implantable collamer lens surgery is linked to fewer higher-order aberrations than other techniques.

Purpose

This network meta-analysis compared the impact of eight refractive surgery techniques on higher-order aberrations (higher-order aberrations) and visual quality in adults with myopia.

Methods

The review protocol was prospectively registered in PROSPERO (CRD420251069362).

n = 5,141 eyes
Results

eyes had less higher-order glare/distortion after implantable collamer lens surgery than after SMILE

More results

Implantable collamer lens also demonstrated superior efficacy in reducing both spherical aberration and coma compared to the other interventions(P < 0.05).

“
Conclusion · 1 of 2

Implantable collamer lens demonstrated superior clinical effects in reducing total higher-order aberrations, spherical aberration, and coma.

Conclusion · 2 of 2

implantable collamer lens implantation may be considered in selected patients seeking refractive correction, particularly those with high myopia or large pupils, where optimal optical quality and minimization of higher-order aberrations are desired.
