What is the SMILE\u00ae laser technique<\/h2>\n

The ReLEx SMILE\u00ae <\/strong>(Small-Incision Lenticule Extraction) technique is a highly precise procedure based on advanced femtosecond laser technology<\/strong>, designed to correct myopi<\/strong>a, with or without associated astigmatism<\/strong>, in a controlled and minimally invasive manner.<\/p>\n

During the procedure, the femtosecond laser makes programmed micro-incisions<\/strong> inside the cornea to create a small piece of tissue called the corneal lenticule<\/strong>. This lenticule is then removed through a minimal incision<\/strong>, allowing precise modification of the corneal curvature and thereby correcting the refractive error<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all”

SMILE\u00ae LASER EYE SURGERY PROCEDURE<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]The advanced ReLEx SMILE\u00ae<\/strong> (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) technology makes it possible to correct myopia, with or without associated astigmatism, in three main steps<\/strong>, with an approximate duration of 10 to 15 minutes per eye.<\/p>\n

At Cl\u00ednica Rahhal<\/strong>, we perform this procedure using ZEISS VISUMAX\u00ae<\/strong>, a femtosecond laser system specially designed for the precise and controlled application of the SMILE\u00ae technique<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Below, we detail the three steps that make up ReLEx SMILE\u00ae laser eye surgery:<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n

1. CREATION OF THE REFRACTIVE LENTICULE<\/strong><\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]The procedure begins with the application of the femtosecond laser, which creates a small lenticule inside the cornea<\/strong>. This lenticule corresponds to the tissue that will later be removed to correct the patient\u2019s myopia.<\/p>\n

The laser works through ultrashort pulses with micrometric precision<\/strong>, allowing controlled action on the corneal tissue while preserving the surrounding structures and without the need to make large cuts on the ocular surface.[\/vc_column_text][nectar_btn size=”medium” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Extra-Color-1″ solid_text_color_override=”#000000″ icon_family=”none” text=”More about femtosecond laser for myopia” url=”https:\/\/rahhal.com\/en\/femtosecond-laser-for-myopia\/” margin_left=”%”][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”491964″ image_size=”full” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Fade In” animation_easing=”default” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”top” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”4%” bottom_padding=”7%” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” row_position_desktop=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” id=”lente” overlay_strength=”0.5″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” video_mute=”true” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”491965″ image_size=”full” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Fade In” animation_easing=”default” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default”][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”padding-3-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”left” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n

2. CORNEAL MICROINCISION<\/strong><\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Once the lenticule is formed, the laser itself makes a micro-incision of between 2 and 4 millimeters<\/strong> in the cornea. This small opening allows access to the corneal tissue to continue with the procedure.<\/p>\n

Since it is a minimal incision, most of the eye\u2019s outer layers are preserved, which helps reduce postoperative discomfort and facilitates visual recovery.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n

3. LENTICULE EXTRACTION<\/strong><\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Through the micro-incision, the surgeon carefully removes the lenticule <\/strong>using specialized instruments. This step is key, as removing this piece of tissue changes the curvature of the cornea, allowing the eye\u2019s focusing ability to improve.<\/p>\n

The entire process is performed under visual guidance and with topical anesthesia, without the need for sutures or additional invasive procedures<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”top” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”4%” bottom_padding=”7%” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” row_position_desktop=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” id=”operacion” overlay_strength=”0.5″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” video_mute=”true” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-3-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n

RECOVERY AFTER FEMTOSECOND LASER ReLEx SMILE ZEISS\u00ae<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Recovery <\/strong>after the ReLEx SMILE\u00ae procedure is usually quick and well tolerated<\/strong>. Most patients can return to their daily activities in a short time, provided they follow the postoperative recommendations given by the ophthalmologist.<\/p>\n

These are some postoperative recommendations after SMILE\u00ae laser surgery<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Always follow your ophthalmologist\u2019s instructions<\/strong> and use the prescribed eye drops correctly.<\/li>\n
  2. Attend all follow-up appointments to monitor<\/strong> your progress and address any questions or concerns.<\/li>\n
  3. Wait for medical clearance<\/strong> before resuming sports or strenuous activities<\/li>\n
  4. Protect your eyes from the sun by wearing certified UV-filter sunglasses.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  5. Do not rub your eyes<\/strong>, as this may interfere with the healing process.<\/li>\n
  6. Avoid direct contact with seawater or swimming pool<\/strong> water during the first few days.<\/li>\n
  7. Try to stay away from environments with dust, smoke, or irritants<\/strong>, especially outdoors.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”491962″ image_size=”full” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Fade In” animation_easing=”default” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”top” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”7%” bottom_padding=”7%” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” row_position_desktop=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” id=”riesgos” color_overlay=”#d3d3d3″ overlay_strength=”0.5″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” video_mute=”true” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-3-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”7229″ image_size=”full” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Fade In” animation_easing=”default” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default”][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n
