SMILE (SMall Incision Lenticule Extraction)

SMILE (SMall Incision Lenticule Extraction) is a laser vision correction for myopia (nearsightedness) and astigmatism, providing LASIK-like outcomes in a minimally invasive procedure. A laser is used to create a thin contact lens shape layer just beneath the surface of the eye and then a small opening through which that layer is removed, correcting your vision.
