What is SMILE?

What is SMILE?

ZEISS SMILE is a game-changing software for laser vision correction that goes beyond PRK and LASIK and redefines refractive surgery. It is exclusively performed with the VisuMax® femtosecond laser from ZEISS.

  • Based on Nobel Prize-winning technology (Nobel Prize in Physics 2018)
  • Treatment planning and execution aided by a software wizard
  • Schematic visualization of cutting patterns during treatment planning

Treatment planning

Data entry of refractive error to be corrected and lenticule parameters.

  

Lenticule creation

Computer-controlled application of laser pulses to create lenticule planes.

Small incision

Generation of access cut through which the lenticule is extracted.

Lenticule extraction

Manual extraction of the lenticule by the surgeon to correct the refractive error.

Minimally invasive

Minimally invasive

With ZEISS SMILE, only a small incision of 2 mm is sufficient, meaning that the majority of the upper corneal layers remains untouched. The lamellar incision area is roughly 1/3 smaller than for Femto-LASIK treatment. What's more, the patient can usually return to their normal daily activities the next day.

All-femto

All-femto

ZEISS SMILE precalculates all intracorneal cuts necessary for the vision correction. The entire procedure is carried out in a single treatment process exclusively on the ZEISS VisuMax femtosecond laser.
