Background: To introduce the Chung?s swing technique for small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE). Methods: A total of 112 eyes of 56 patients were included in this study. Patients were divided into two groups: 52 eyes of 26 patients were treated with SMILE using a traditional method (traditional group) and 60 eyes of 30 patients were treated with SMILE using the Chung?s swing technique (swing group). Results: At 1 month postoperatively, all eyes in both groups had an uncorrected distance visual acuity of 20/20 or better. The efficacy indices were 1.09?±?0.17 and 1.02?±?0.11 (p?=?0.492), and the safety indices were 1.12?±?0.14 and 1.09?±?0.15 (p?=?0.537), for the traditional and swing group, respectively. All eyes in both groups underwent successful lenticule extraction; all lenticules were intact and complete. The mean lenticule extraction times were 48.67?±?4.9 and 39.8?±?5.53 s, for the traditional and swing group, respectively (p?0.001). Conclusions: The Chung?s swing technique is efficient for lenticule separation and extraction. Our study results showed good clinical outcomes.
