Comparative Study of SMILE, ICL, and Wavelight Plus Alcon Technologies in Myopia Correction

Comparative Study of SMILE, ICL, and Wavelight Plus Alcon Technologies in Myopia Correction

Myopia is a prevalent refractive error with significant lifestyle impact. While traditional SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) and ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) surgeries are standard options, the advent of the Wavelight Plus Alcon system presents a promising new technique. This trial aims to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and patient satisfaction across these methods.
