PURPOSE To evaluate the 10-year results of femtosecond lenticule extraction (FLEx) for treatment of myopia and myopic astigmatism. METHODS This long-term follow-up of a prospective clinical trial was conducted at HELIOS Klinikum Erfurt and Phillips University of Marburg, Germany. In 2006, 108 eyes underwent the FLEx procedure. All patients were invited for reexamination 10 years after FLEx treatment for myopia and astigmatism. Visual acuity, objective and manifest refraction, intraocular pressure, and slit-lamp examination and side effects were documented. Main outcome measures were uncorrected (UDVA) and corrected (CDVA) distance visual acuity, objective and manifest refraction, and slit-lamp examination and side effects. RESULTS A total of 77 eyes of 40 patients of the original treatment group volunteered for a reexamination 10 years after surgery. The mean age of the patients was 45.9 years; 26 were women and 14 were men. UDVA was 0.09 ± 0.19 logMAR and CDVA was stable at -0.1 ± 0.09 logMAR. More than half of the eyes gained one or two Snellen lines, and none of the eyes lost two or more lines. Over the 10-year period, regression was 0.18 D. CONCLUSIONS FLEx has stable results 10 years after treatment for myopia and astigmatism. [J Refract Surg. 2019;35(11):707-711.].
