SMILE Minimally invasive, flapless surgery Small incision lenticule extraction or SMILE is an established form of laser vision correction beyond PRK and LASIK. It is a minimally invasive procedure that requires no flap. As a result, the outer corneal layer remains largely intact. • Minimally invasive • Flapless • Small incision • Gentle treatment The treatment steps www.zeiss.com/relex-smile Tel: +65 6741 9600 info.sg@zeiss.com Step 1 Lenticule creation A thin lenticule, a lens shaped piece of corneal tissue, and small incision are created inside the intact cornea. Step 2 Lenticule removal The lenticule is removed through the incision with minimal disruption to the cornea.
