• To evaluate and compare the recovery of central and peripheral corneal sensitivity in the early period after small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and femtosecond lenticule extraction (FLEx). In this study, 47 cases (87 eyes) which underwent SMILE and FLEx were included. Central, superior, inferior, nasal and temporal corneal sensitivity was measured using a Cochet-Bonnet esthesiometer (Luneau Ophthalmologic) before and 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after SMILE and FLEx. The results were analyzed with Mann-Whitney test by SPSS13.0 software. There were statistical differences between SMILE and FLEx group in the central, inferior, nasal and temporal corneal sensitivity at 1 week, 1 month and 3 months postoperatively (Z = -5.219, -7.120, -6.735, -7.139, -5.945, -6.644, -7.006, -7.121, -5.262, -3.086, -4.140, -3.523. P < 0.01). However, the superior corneal sensitivity in the SMILE group did not show significant difference (Z = -1.807, P = 0.071) as compared to FLEx group (with exception of 1 week postopera
