ReLEx SMILE Small Incision Lenticule Extraction

SMILE is a breakthrough in ophthalmology. SMILE makes use of the Carl Zeiss VisuMax femtosecond laser system to correct myopia and astigmatism, which is a big step in vision correction science. SMILE eye surgery has proven more reliable than LASIK, with superior speed and accuracy at a reasonable cost.

Today, over 5,000,000 happy patients in Hong Kong and around the world have received the SMILE treatment. According to clinical studies, patients who have undergone SMILE have close to a 100% satisfaction rate.

We use Carl Zeiss VisuMax for SMILE

The SMILE Process

SMILE is a single step eye surgery technique. The laser directly incises the middle of the cornea by opening a small 2-4 mm incision, removing the cut cornea. Therefore, the corneal curvature changes to receive the effect of correction. Since the procedure of uncovering the corneal flap is eliminated, the wound area is reduced by 80% and the healing process costs you no extra time.

The process of SMILE does not produce any smell, whereas LASIK will produce a burning smell when grinding the cornea. Therefore, patients who receive SMILE generally feel more comfortable during the treatment.

SMILE eye surgery can correct myopia up to -10.00D and astigmatism under 5.00D.

Step 1: Laser directly cut the middle part of the cornea Step2: Open a 2-4 mm small incision Step 3: Remove the cut cornea

Advantages of SMILE

  • Femtosecond is 1,000 times faster than the Excimer laser, the entire procedure takes only about 5 minutes
  • No need to create a corneal flap, resulting in reduced eye trauma
  • 2 – 4mm minimum cut within the cornea, causing less damage to the cornea
  • No burning smell during the process
  • No need to worry about displacement of the corneal flap, even when doing strenuous exercise
  • Close to 100% satisfaction rate, with stable recovery and effects
  • Minimizes damage to corneal nerve, reduces postoperative eye dryness and the chance of infection
