SMILE Laser / RELEX

SMILE / RELEX LASER

Which patients are treated with the Smile laser?

Smile laser treatment is one of the personalized superficial laser treatments that we usually use for eyes with thin corneas and not very high myopia and astigmatism. As a result of a detailed examination, treatment with the Smile laser can be applied to people whose eye structure is considered by the doctor as suitable for surgical intervention.

It is a suitable treatment for athletes and professional groups who are at risk of impact and pressure.

Who should not be treated with the Relex Smile laser?

As a result of detailed examinations and analyzes, people whose eye structure is considered by the doctor as suitable for surgical intervention can be treated with a laser. It is a method of laser technology that makes it possible to treat up to -10 for myopia and up to -5 for astigmatism with the personalized SMILE bladeless laser method in the treatment of myopia and astigmatism.

How is Relex Smile laser treatment applied?

Using Zeiss Visumax femtosecond technology, a thin lenticule (disc-shaped tissue) is formed in one step in the front layer of the eye (cornea). The surgeon removes the formed lenticule from the cornea through a hole in the cornea with a diameter of 2.0 mm. There is no need to cut any flaps. As a result of the removal of the lenticule formed in the eye, the shape of the cornea changes, and the refractive error of the eye is corrected. Because the flap is not created, the biomechanics of the cornea is less affected.

What is the distinction of the Smile laser?

SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) and No-Touch laser technologies have gained attention in recent years as treatments for myopia and astigmatism. With the help of these technologies, successful results are achieved in the problems of myopia and astigmatism, and after laser correction, there are fewer problems with dry eyes.

Why Smile laser?

Treatment up to -10 for myopia and -5 for astigmatism
Protection of corneal biomechanics
Compatibility with thin corneal structure
Bladeless operation with closed surgical technique
One-step operation
Safe recovery

ADVANTAGES OF LASER SMILE FOR ATHLETES

The SMILE method provides a significant advantage over other methods in maintaining the mechanical strength of the patient's cornea. This method is more suitable in particular for athletes, and people with busy work and study. An important advantage for people involved in sports is that a person can return to sports in a very short time after treatment.

This procedure is a personalized non-contact laser using iris identification technology. With the help of iris recognition, the rotation of the eye around its axis can be calculated, and this method also allows us to treat astigmatism along the most accurate axis.

How long does the recovery process take after the Smile laser?

It takes about 10-15 minutes. Recovery after the Smile laser is fast. The day after the operation, the patient can return to working life and start doing sports such as walking and jogging. Water sports can be practiced after 1 week, and combat sports such as karate and kickboxing after 1-2 weeks.

Is the Smile laser applied for hypermetropia?

This method can be used in the treatment of refractive errors such as myopia and astigmatism. For the treatment of hypermetropia, alternative methods recommended by the doctor based on the results of the tests are recommended.

How long does blurry vision last after the Smile laser?

Blurred vision may last for about 2-3 hours after surgery. Regular use of drops recommended by your doctor after treatment is very important for a healthy recovery process.
