KLEx is expected to avoid flap-related complications and may reduce postoperative dry eye by preserving corneal innervation more effectively. KLEx was formerly known as SMILE and received FDA approval for myopia and later myopic astigmatism. KLEx corrects refractive error by extracting an intrastromal lenticule through a small incision without creating a flap. The trial evaluates KLEx using the Schwind SmartSight system on the ATOS femtosecond laser.
