This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the methods for preserving SMILE-derived lenticules and discusses their potential future applications.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>A narrative literature review was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases, focusing on articles published up to January 2024 and available in English.

However, these lenticules present a promising resource for therapeutic uses, particularly in addressing the shortage of donor corneal tissues. Their potential applications include inlay and overlay additive keratoplasty, as well as other ocular surface applications.
