Relex Smile: clinical course of the intervention in Turkey & Istanbul

Laser eye surgery, Smile (Small Incision Lenticular Extraction), is a new technique for the treatment of myopia and astigmatism. It is performed in a small number of ophthalmic clinics and uses the latest scientific developments in laser eye surgery. Relex Smile differs from other types of laser treatments in that it does not cut the corneal flap (hood).

The intervention of Relex Smile lasts 20 minutes and performed under local anesthesia in 3 steps:

• Step 1: The surgeon cuts the lenticule with the Visumax femtosecond laser to provide the shape and volume needed to correct visual acuity.
• Step 2: The surgeon removes the corneal disk through the narrow tunnel without touching the superficial layers of the cornea.
• step3: the elimination of the thin layer of corneal tissue which corrects the shape of its surface and modifies the way of light filtering by the cornea and therefore the correction of the eye.

After the operation Relex Smile, a rest of 3 or 4 hours with closed eyes is strongly requested accompanied by anti-inflammatory and antibiotic care.

The Relex Smile procedure eliminates all the disadvantages of other laser procedures and has several advantages:

• Quick and safe treatment: there is no risk of loss or removal of the hood after the operation, it is carried out in a few minutes and the person can continue his activities the next day.
