What is ZEISS SMILE?

ZEISS SMILE (Refractive Lenticule Extraction – Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) is an advanced, minimally invasive eye surgery designed to correct common vision problems. Unlike traditional methods, ZEISS SMILE is flapless, FDA-approved, and particularly suited for individuals with active lifestyles and demanding occupations who seek reliable vision correction.

How ZEISS SMILE Works

The ZEISS SMILE procedure involves creating a small lens-shaped tissue (lenticule) inside the cornea using the ZEISS VisuMax femtosecond laser. This lenticule is then gently extracted through a tiny 2mm incision—10 times smaller than the incision made in traditional LASIK surgery. Once the lenticule is removed, the cornea reshapes to achieve the intended vision correction.

Key Benefits of ZEISS SMILE

  • Minimally Invasive: The ZEISS SMILE incision is only 2mm, dramatically less than LASIK’s 20mm, making it a less invasive option.
  • No Flap Required: The procedure preserves the integrity of the cornea, as there’s no need to create a corneal flap.
  • Faster Recovery: Clinical studies show that ZEISS SMILE offers faster recovery times, with many patients returning to normal activities sooner.
  • Reduced Dry Eye: Research indicates a lower risk of transient dry eye syndrome compared to other refractive surgeries, as fewer corneal nerves are affected.
  • Enhanced Corneal Stability: This technique maintains more of the cornea’s biomechanical strength, offering additional long-term safety.

Conditions Treated with ZEISS SMILE

ZEISS SMILE is effective for correcting:

  • Myopia (short-sightedness)
  • Astigmatism (irregular curvature of the cornea)

Who is ZEISS SMILE For?

This treatment is especially ideal for people who engage in sports, have physically demanding jobs, or want a vision correction option with minimal downtime. Candidates must meet certain eye health criteria, which will be assessed during a consultation at ISEC Malaysia.
