  • Abstract
    Purpose: In this case report, we describe the surgical procedure of corneal inlay preparation and corneal pocket creation using a femtosecond laser system. Case Report: A 7‑year‑old girl who presented with unilateral paracentral corneal thinning underwent the surgical procedure of corneal inlay. Preoperatively, the refraction was +10.00‑6.00 × 170. One month after the procedure, astigmatism and hyperopia were decreased and the refraction was +5.00‑1.25 × 110. Conclusion: Femtosecond laser–assisted pocket creation for the implantation of corneal inlays offers accuracy of pocket parameters, enhancing predictability, resulting in better final outcomes, and improving the safety of the procedure.
