Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE) laser eye surgery is the latest advancement in laser vision correction. SMILE is a minimally invasive surgery done to correct myopia (nearsightedness) with outstanding results. Apart from myopia, it is also useful in treating mild astigmatism up to 5 diopters. Alternatively, SMILE is known as Refractive Lenticule Extraction/RELEX.
ReLex SMILE eye surgery is a fully automated next-generation procedure that is completed in a short time to give long-lasting and stable results. The chances that a patient might require retreatment are meagre as compared to other blade-free Lasik procedures. The eye surgeon anaesthetizes a patient’s eye before performing ReLex SMILE laser eye surgery and then prevents it from blinking or closing with the help of a speculum. The surgeon utilizes Femto laser technology to create precise lenticular surfaces in the cornea and later removes the lenticule through the incision.
During a SMILE procedure, the doctor uses eye drops to anesthetize the eye. A speculum is then carefully positioned on the lids to keep the eye open and to prevent blinking. Using advanced femtosecond technology, the surgeon then creates a precise lenticule, which is a thin, circular piece of tissue. The surgeon then removes the lenticule through the tiny incision that was created in the eye. The entire procedure lasts between 10 and 15 minutes, but the laser is only used for a small fraction of that time. After using the laser, the patient will be allowed to recover for a few minutes before the eye doctor returns, checks the eye, and allows the patient to leave.
Recovery in SMILE is slow as compared to Contoura and other Lasik procedures and patient misses on the WOW effect. WOW effect is referred to speedy recovery in clarity of vision after laser procedure, usually within 30 minutes of the procedure.

Small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) is a newer type of laser refractive surgery. This kind of surgery uses a laser to treat myopia (nearsightedness) and astigmatism (irregularly shaped cornea). For you to see clearly, light rays must travel through your cornea and lens.
