SUMMARY
SMILE monovision case study
The case presents SMILE as a good treatment option for a presbyopic ametropic patient with a desire for spectacle independence for computer work and hobbies like water sports.
The case confirms SMILE:
- To be an effective and safe treatment
- To be a good corneal refractive surgery mini-monovision alternative
- To be a solution for presbyopic ametropic patients with clear crystalline lens
- To provide spectacle independence for most daily activities.
