Effect of corneal stromal lenticule customization on neurite distribution and excitatory property

A Schematic overview of this study from the SMILE lenticule creation and extraction to lenticule customization: excimer laser reshaping/thinning, ultraviolet A (UVA)-riboflavin crosslinking and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) decellularization, as well as the reinnervation of customized lenticules. Stromal neurites in lenticules (black color) sand regenerating neuritis (red color).
