Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE) at Alpha Seoul Eye Clinic

SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) is a modern laser eye surgery that corrects refractive vision issues, such as myopia (nearsightedness) and astigmatism. It uses a femtosecond laser to create a small, lens-shaped piece of tissue (lenticule) within the cornea, which is then removed through a small incision. This reshapes the cornea and improves vision.

Benefits of SMILE:

  1. Minimally Invasive:
    • Only a small incision (2-4 mm) is made, preserving more of the cornea's structural integrity.
  2. Faster Recovery:
    • Patients often experience quicker healing and less discomfort compared to traditional LASIK.
  3. Reduced Risk of Dry Eye:
    • Fewer corneal nerves are disturbed, lowering the incidence of post-operative dry eye syndrome.
  4. Stable and Effective Results:
    • Provides excellent and stable vision correction, especially for myopia and astigmatism.
  5. Single-Step Procedure:
    • The entire correction process is performed using a single laser, making it more streamlined.
  6. Less Risk of Complications:
    • The absence of a corneal flap reduces the risk of flap-related complications.

Ideal Candidates:

  • Patients with mild to moderate myopia and astigmatism.
  • Those with active lifestyles or occupations where flap-related complications (from LASIK) could be problematic.
  • Individuals with adequate corneal thickness.

SMILE offers a safe and effective alternative to traditional laser vision correction methods, combining the advantages of minimal invasiveness with high precision and successful outcomes.
