SMILE minimally invasive surgery

An advanced procedure

Small incision lenticule extraction, or SMILE for short, is a minimally invasive treatment and requires no flap. A laser is used to create a thin, contact-lens-shaped layer just beneath the corneal surface and then a small opening through which that layer is removed. Some studies show that there is less disruption of the corneal surface and fewer immediate post-operative dry eye symptoms with SMILE as compared to LASIK.

SMILE Benefits

Minimally invasive due to only a small incision
Gentle and convenient technique
Requires no flap – no flap-related complications; low incidence of dry eyes, low risk of infection
Generally greater suitability – possioption for patients with contact lens intolerance and a dry eye tendency

How the SMILE procedure is performed?

Prior to the treatment

Anesthetic eye drops are applied to the eye. An eyelid holder is used to prevent the eye from blinking during the procedure

The Treatment Steps

STEP 1:

Creating the lenticule

A small piece of corneal tissue (lenticule) and a small incision are created inside the intact cornea.

STEP 2:

Removing the lenticule

The lenticule is removed through the small incision with minimal disruption to the cornea.

STEP 3:

Correcting the error

Removing the lenticule changes the shape of the cornea, correcting the refractive error.
