Hyperopic keratorefractive lenticule extraction.

Keratorefractive lenticule extraction (KLEx) is a cutting-edge refractive surgery technique that has garnered considerable attention in recent years due to its minimally invasive nature and the absence of a corneal flap both of which are notable advantages over traditional laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis surgery. Currently, the technology for myopia correction using KLEx has been refined and is widely recognized. Consequently, hyperopic KLEx surgery is highly anticipated, having undergone nearly a decade of evolution and development, and it seems to have finally achieved stable and reliable postoperative outcomes. This article reviews the emerging hyperopic KLEx in clinical outcomes, challenges, complications, and outlook.
