Laser SMILE Refractive Surgery - Dr. Jean-Marc Ancel

The principle of SMILE is to create with the femtosecond laser a stromal lenticule corresponding to the myopia to be corrected, deep within the cornea, and to remove it using a forceps through a micro-incision. Dr. Ancel's office offers Smile surgery in Paris / Neuilly to patients concerned by this technique. The post-operative period in SMILE is the same as with classic LASIK: the only difference will be this light but constant veil for at least a week.
