In this case report, we propose to correct refractive errors after SMILE a refractive lenticule surgery technique with transepithelial Photorefractive keratectomy (TransPRK).
The advantage of this technique is that the measured aberrations with topography o the Cornea are also treated on the Surface of the Cornea.
