ReLEx Smile in Iran

ReLEx SMILE, the latest generation of laser refractive surgery, is known as the least invasive treatment for myopia and astigmatism. The most significant advantage of ReLEx SMILE is the fact that the treatment takes place without a corneal flap.

age Limit for ReLEx SMILE Surgery: You Should be older than 18 years.

Surgical Procedure

In the ReLEx SMILE technique, two incisions are created at a depth of 110 to 130 microns of the cornea. These two incisions form a small, lens-shaped tissue (lenticule) within the cornea. By removing the lenticule through a 2-4 mm incision, the cornea is reshaped and the refractive error is corrected.
