FemtoSmile Procedure
In this method, the cornea is corrected in two layers, posterior and anterior, at a depth of 120 microns inside the eye and is removed through a very small incision of approximately 2.7 mm. With minimal manipulation, this method has the fastest recovery among surgical methods for removing glasses. Unlike the previous two methods, there is no need for care and rest at home, and the patient can continue daily activities on the same day after the SMILE surgery.
