     For example, it has mostly been used in assessing optical quality as well as intraocular scattering changes in different kinds of refractive surgeries, such as after phakic intraocular lens implantation,[8 –9 ] and keratorefractive surgeries, including PRK, LASIK and femto-second laser small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE).
