ReLEx SMILE Laser Eye Treatment

ReLEx SMILE laser eye surgery is currently one of the most advanced laser vision correction methods in the world. This technique stands out for its precision, reliability, and lower complication risk compared to other laser treatments.


Overview of Treatment

  • Suitable for individuals aged between 18 and 45

  • Applicable only for the correction of myopia and astigmatism between -1 and -10 diopters

  • Maximum correction may not always be achievable

  • Not suitable for hyperopia (positive diopters)

  • More comfortable compared to the IntraLASIK method

  • Ideal for those involved in contact sports or working in high-risk professions


Brief Description of the ReLEx SMILE Method:

Patient-Friendly: Faster recovery and lower risk of complications due to a small incision
Flap-Free Treatment: No flap is created during the procedure, eliminating the risk of displacement or shifting

How Is ReLEx SMILE Laser Eye Surgery Performed?

In ReLEx SMILE, only a small opening of 2 to 4 millimeters is created in the cornea. Using a laser, a thin disc-shaped tissue (lenticule) is prepared within the corneal layers. This lenticule is then extracted through the small incision.


Anesthesia
Local anesthesia is applied using eye drops before the procedure. This ensures that no pain is felt during the treatment.


Lenticule Creation
The surgeon uses a laser to create a thin lenticule within the corneal tissue and then makes a small incision in the cornea.


Lenticule Removal
The created lenticule is removed through the small incision. As a result, the cornea is reshaped, correcting the refractive error in the eye.
