Target number of participants: 15
Treatments
Other: ReLex Smile surgery
The myopic lenticule after Relex Smile surgery is put into BBS solution for 10 min. Under topical anesthesia, Using VisuMax Femtosecond Laser.
Other: fresh corneal lenticule implantation
Using VisuMax Femtosecond Laser we make intrastromal pocket incision 2-3 mm in periphery of cornea (Because the macular dystrophy is in the center more progressive) and 150 µm deep to put fresh corneal lenticule. After one month using VisuMax we create a flap using autologous serum with purpose to remove more dead keratocytes and adding live keratocytes with aim to regenerate the metabolism of cornea.
