Laser SMILE Refractive Surgery - Dr. Jean-Marc Ancel

The principle of SMILE is to create a stromal lenticule corresponding to the myopia to be corrected, using a femtosecond laser, deep within the cornea, and to remove it using a forceps through a micro-incision. The SMILE technique is simple, painless, and extremely quick to perform. The postoperative period for SMILE is the same as with traditional LASIK. The known side effects after SMILE surgery are few and of varying intensity.
