ReLEx® SMILE® is a laser technique developed by ZEISS for the correction of vision defects. It is a treatment method which combines the extensive experience and superior safety of traditional vision correction techniques with some theoretical benefits.
The ReLEx® SMILE® principle: The high-precision VisuMax® femtosecond laser creates a small lens (lenticule) inside the intact cornea, the volume and form of which are determined by the degree of vision defect to be corrected. This lenticule is then removed from the interior of the cornea through a small access measuring just a few millimeters. There is no flap incision, the area of the incision is reduced to a minimum and the outer corneal layers remain more or less intact. Surgery is performed only with a femtosecond laser and not with an excimer laser. There is no pupil tracking or wavefront correction performed during SMILE®.
OCL Vision is the first UK clinic to offer the pioneering SmartSight™ laser eye surgery. This utilises the same lenticule extraction technology as ReLEx® SMILE®, with additional improvements such as sophisticated pupil tracking and astigmatism software. Please see our SmartSight page more more information.
