Some patients may complain of optical disturbances after corneal refractive surgery. These optical disturbances are secondary to the increase in higher-order aberrations after refractive surgery; the greater the correction of the refractive error, the greater the induction of corneal aberrations. The most commonly induced aberrations are spherical aberration and coma. Customized treatments are meant to reduce the induction of HOAs. SMILE technique induces lesser aberrations than LASIK or PRK.
