Preoperative best-corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA), refractive error, contrast sensitivity, central corneal thickness, keratometry, higher order aberrations, and scotopic pupil size were recorded using a Placido disk topography with Sheimpflug tomography-based system. Patients underwent SMILE with a lenticular diameter of 6.5 mm until 2018 (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n = 372 eyes). Thereafter, the lenticular diameter was reduced to 5 mm (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n = 318). The RST, postoperative refraction, aberrations, subjective glare, and halos were compared across groups at 1 and 6 months.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n The mean age of participants was 26.8 \u00b1 5.8 years with a mean preoperative spherical equivalent of \u22124.48 D \u00b1 2.16 D (range: \u22120.75 to \u221212.25 D) and mean scotopic pupil of 3.7 \u00b1 0.75 mm. Eyes in the 5 mm group had 30.6 m (95% confidence interval [CI] = 28 to 33 m,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.001) greater RST compared to the 6.5 mm group after adjusting for spherical equivalent and preoperative pachymetry. There were no differences in vision, contrast sensitivity, aberrations (wavefront error of 0.19 \u00b1 0.2 vs. 0.25 \u00b1 0.2,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.19) or glare between the two groups.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n SMILE performed with a lenticular diameter of 5 mm leads to greater RST across the myopic range, but without inducing significant higher-order aberrations.<\/jats:p>\n
