Smile Laser Surgery Benefits in Turkey

Relex Smile eye surgery, which is a 3rd generation laser refraction surgery, it is performed using the femtosecond laser VisuMax the patented technology of Carl Zeiss Meditech instead of Femto Lasik Excimer Laser.

In surgery, a small arc-shaped incision is made on the surface of the cornea with the same laser, and the lenticule is removed from this small incision. When the tiny lenticule extraction is done, its myopia is treated and the cornea shape is changed. The corneal incision heals in just a few days, and sharp vision occurs very quickly.

Contact is ensured between the laser device and the eye in such a way that complete compliance is achieved.

A femtosecond laser creates a laser incision in the cornea in two planes, one in front and one in the background. This corneal tissue, the anterior and posterior border of which is determined by laser software, is called a lenticule. So, the lenticule is part of the cornea.

The shape and size of the lenticule are determined by the software of the laser device for resetting the person’s eye degree.

It is necessary to remove the formed lenticule from the cornea. For this reason, a small corneal incision is created on the surface of the cornea so that it is adjacent to the lens, and from there the lens is removed outside the cornea.
