LASER REFRACTIVE TREATMENTS /

ZEISS SMILE

ZEISS SMILE (formerly known as ReLEX SMILE) is a less invasive way to treat short-sightedness and astigmatism. Traditional laser treatment involves creating a flap on the cornea, before using a second laser - the Excimer Laser, to reshape the cornea. With ZEISS SMILE, no corneal flap is required.

Procedures

  1. In ZEISS SMILE, the Femtosecond laser is used to create a lenticule in the inner layers of the cornea.
  2. The Femtosecond laser is able to penetrate the surface of the cornea without any cutting involved or causing any damage to the surface layers.
  3. A small, micro incision (3-4mm) is created at the side of the cornea.
  4. The lenticule that was created earlier is gently removed through the small micro incision made.
  5. With the lenticule removed, the cornea shape is altered, which also changes the power of the eye.

Comparison

A 4mm opening is all ZEISS SMILE needs. This minimally invasive technique allows the surface tissue to remain intact, thus significantly preserving the biomechanical strength of the cornea.
