Spherical equivalent (SE) was within \u00b1 0.50 D in 96% (24\/25) of the ICL group and 94.44% (34\/36) of the SMILE group. No eyes lost more than 2 lines of CDVA. Postoperative high-order aberrations (HOAs) were significantly increased in the ICL group (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.01) and in the SMILE group (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.01).
