The Best Eye Surgery
A new advancement in laser vision correction Lasik SMILE eye surgery (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction), treats aberrant vision, including nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. No flaps are required with this minimally invasive, bladeless form of laser surgery, which is an excellent alternative to LASIK.
An incision in the cornea is made using a femtosecond laser in the Relex SMILE procedure. An ophthalmologist changes the cornea’s curvature permanently by removing a small piece of corneal tissue (called a lenticule).
The advantages of Relex SMILE include the following:
- Quick recovery of vision.
- A painless, simple, and safe procedure.
- Enhancement of corneal stability.
- Dry eyes are less likely to develop
- The risk of infection is low.
- Flaps are not required.
Relex SMILE: How To Prepare?
Our ophthalmologist will perform a thorough assessment in our consultation to determine if SMILE eye surgery is right for you. If not, another laser eye surgery will be recommended. From your initial consultation to your surgery and aftercare, our ophthalmologists will be there for you. The level of personalized care at North American Laser and Eye Centre sets it apart from other clinics in Dubai.
Relex Smile: How does it work?
You won’t be able to blink during surgery due to numbing eye drops and an eyelid holder.
Relex SMILE uses laser pulses to outline the tissue that will be removed from the cornea to reshape it. Afterward, the surgeon removes the tissue through the connected channel created by the laser.
With SMILE, there is no need to create a flap, improving postoperative eye comfort. A few minutes of the procedure lead to an 80% improvement in vision within a few hours. Within a few weeks, the vision will improve by 100%.
It is normal to experience blurry vision for a while after SMILE laser eye surgery, but the recovery time is quick and smooth. We provide a comprehensive aftercare plan in Novomed Dubai, which includes a follow-up appointment within 24 hours after surgery and follow-up appointments for up to 12 months afterward.
Following Relex Smile, what should I expect?
It is quicker to recover from Relex SMILE surgery than other laser eye surgery procedures, with fewer complications and discomfort. Patients usually report improved vision within 24 hours of surgery, but it can take up to a few weeks to see full results.
After Relex SMILE surgery, patients are advised not to drive for 24 hours and to avoid light sources for 2-3 days.
