SMILE Procedure

Show Description +

Professor Dan Z. Reinstein, MD, presents the ReLEx smile correction technique. Unlike LASIK, in which tissue is ablated with an excimer laser after opening a flap, ReLEx smile does not require a flap. Instead, it creates a lenticle inside the intact cornea, which is removed through a small incision. [No audio]
