Introduction to Small Incision Vision Correction 

SMILE Surgery (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) is an advanced laser vision correction procedure used to reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses. During the surgery, a femtosecond laser creates a small lens-shaped tissue inside the cornea, which is removed through a tiny incision to reshape the eye. The procedure is commonly performed to correct myopia and selected cases of astigmatism. 

Minimally Invasive Corneal Reshaping Through Precision Laser Technology

This procedure is performed under topical anesthesia using anesthetic eye drops to keep the patient comfortable during treatment. The eye and surrounding area are prepared and protected using sterile Nivda Ophthalmic Drapes to maintain a clean and controlled surgical field. A femtosecond laser is used to create a precise lenticule within the corneal tissue without creating a large flap. The surgeon removes the lenticule through a small incision, changing the corneal shape to improve focusing ability. Advanced laser guidance and microsurgical handling help maintain corneal stability and achieve accurate visual correction. After completion of the procedure, sterile protective materials are applied to support recovery and reduce the risk of postoperative contamination.
