Small incision leticule extraction — or SMILE — is a refractive surgery that reshapes the cornea and focuses images on the retina to eliminate the need of glasses. It is a less invasive laser surgery that requires a much smaller incision than LASIK.
Incisions for LASIK are approximately 14 mm but SMILE is much less at 3 mm. The smaller incision significantly decreases post surgical dry eye.
It is the fastest growing refractive procedure world wide. It takes 10-15 minutes — and is painless!
