In this video, Professor Dan Reinstein performs a ReLEx SMILE (small incision lenticule extraction) – a keyhole type of LASIK procedure – filmed in real-time to demonstrate the full 3 and-a-half minute procedure from multiple angles. The superior design and optical precision of the Carl Zeiss Meditec Visumax femtosecond makes it the only femtosecond laser that is accurate enough to perform laser eye surgery through a keyhole incision in the cornea without the need for creating a flap and disruption of the corneal nerves and tearfilm that results from flap creation in the standard LASIK technique. The patient is only in contact with the device is less than 40 seconds with extremely low contract force such that the patient feels effectively nothing, there are no red splodges (subconjunctival haemorages) left behind. From the surgeons’ standpoint the laser procedure is one step: contact with the patient cornea and lenticule creation. The accuracy of ReLEx SMILE has been shown to be higher than that of LASIK in that it is far more accurate for higher prescriptions, and ReLEx smile can perform treatment for myopia / short-sightedness from -1.00 to -10 and in some instances up to -14 D.

Omg lasik looks like a piece of cake compared to this.

May I ask what benefits this has over transPRK?
Hi,
I would like to ask about contraindications for SMILE surgery. My prescription for my right eye is sf -6.0, cyl +0.75 and ax 150. My left eye has a prescription of sf -6.75, cyl +1.0 and ax 40. I also have severe osteogenesis imperfecta (type III). Due to OI my sclera had a blueish tint until I was 7-year-old. Can OI patients have SMILE surgery? Also are there any other types of laser eye surgery that could be performed on OI patients?
i have done this 8 months ago, my right eye is excellent but my left eye still a little blurry 🙁
Hello,
My name is Daniel and came across info regarding an corrective eye surgery called RELEX performed at your location. I have some questions I'm hoping you can answer. I have astigamatisim and strong prescription(-11 in one eye and -9.50 in the other) and also had a scleral buckle surgery performed in one of my eyes. What are my chances of being able to still be a candidate for RELEX
I don't understand the need to use the eyeball as a table to spread out the removed cornea and then remove it, what the hell.
When will exist a laser technology that directly heals you from miopia without having to touch and cut anything
when should i be able to see sharply after the surgery ?
when i see this, i'd rather stick with my contacts. This is too much for me to handle. Lol i'd need anesthesia to not go nuts.
So after pulling this layer from the eye what do you do with it?
Yo, this is awesome, thanks for the video.
I had this done last Friday in Copenhagen and I am very happy, the pain ("sand in eyes") lasted for 3 hours, I could see well already after the operation (except for the pain and high light sensitivity) and today, 3 days after the operation, I am back to work with "business as usual"
(right eye -4,5. left eye -5,5 D)
