In this video, Professor Dan Reinstein performs a ReLEx SMILE (small incision lenticule extraction) – a keyhole type of LASIK procedure – filmed in real-time to demonstrate the full 3 and-a-half minute procedure from multiple angles. The superior design and optical precision of the Carl Zeiss Meditec Visumax femtosecond makes it the only femtosecond laser that is accurate enough to perform laser eye surgery through a keyhole incision in the cornea without the need for creating a flap and disruption of the corneal nerves and tearfilm that results from flap creation in the standard LASIK technique. The patient is only in contact with the device is less than 40 seconds with extremely low contract force such that the patient feels effectively nothing, there are no red splodges (subconjunctival haemorages) left behind. From the surgeons' standpoint the laser procedure is one step: contact with the patient cornea and lenticule creation. The accuracy of ReLEx SMILE has been shown to be higher than that of LASIK in that it is far more accurate for higher prescriptions, and ReLEx smile can perform treatment for myopia / short-sightedness from -1.00 to -10 and in some instances up to -14 D.

I’m sure this is a high tech revolutionary procedure. But it still makes me cringe when he pokes the eye and shoves that metal thing in and stars scraping… good lord.

@Vaani Sinha Same Here ? it hurts
IMAGINE SITTING THERE AND SEEING A THING GOING ON YOUR EYE
I’m pretty sure they’re going to put you to sleep beforehand
I didnt get smile, i got prk, but still procedure wise, believe me or not living through it is much less traumatic than watching this, jeeez the procedure was so simple im glad i didnt watch this before lmao
@Leah Dennison ??? that’s EXACTLY how I described it to the nurse after my surgery
@Diya Biju it’s been about a year since I got the surgery now. My eyesight is perfect tbh. I will admit there are some changes/adjustments that had to be made: can’t stare at a screen for hours at a time, it causes my eyes to strain quicker. And sunlight is extra bright, so I have to wear shades. Other then that, it’s all good. I also stopped taking eyedrops around the 6 month mark.
@Jecsan TorresLopez Does it have any side effects. How is your eyes now?
Done with my relex smile surgery two days ago. Feeling much better and relaxed. Vision is perfect and m feeling pretty normal ?
How about now? Asking for a friend.
what about now?
@Aiden Marcelo I can’t stop laughing
What was your power
@Abdalrahman Alenazi ???
“the upper part is separated using the surgical technique of…waving the instrument back and forth” lol…sounds so casual
you are not a surgeon, shut ur hole
Am i just the weird one who ACTUALLY wants to do this… Like it looks so cool and satisfying
omg tik toker satisfying thingy
*shudders in phobia*
Well, looks like I have another phobia
hell yeah i almost passed watching this
@Amoni !
so what are you really scared of or less your not afraid of death or falling from a 900 ft drop you fearless?
@F-zero91maru No I dont
@Amoni !
Do you have any fears maybe sewing needles or gallons of acid?
I wish i could afford that. I would throw my glasses so far at the ocean when im healed.
@Meister Of the House Yes thank you
The procedure is not worth it. There’s always a chance that the surgery goes wrong.
@Some Weeb in Greece you have to pay 2000-5000 €?
@Pb69xi sorry, I’m Indian, and the “doctors” I’ve seen in india…I wouldn’t trust them unless they’re trained in the US or Europe or something, and even then be careful.
Dude thats polluting
I’m just surprised people with this much stability in their hands exist.
I just had the SMILE procedure and I can tell you it really is like magic. The surgeon reassures you every step of the way, you feel nothing and all you see is light. If you’re thinking about having it done I say go for it!
@Majin VEGETA oh yeah
1 in 1000 in this sur can get in trouble so I will wait untill someone get in trouble so I will be 1001th who won’t gwt trouble
**Big brain?**
Any side-effects?
@Zaid Ahmed are there any risks? like is there a chance of going blind
had this done in singapore about a month ago, my left was 1050 and right was 950 with astig on both sides, now its 6/6, astig’s seems to be corrected too because no issues there. I only regret not doing it earlier and delaying it due to fear of pain. didn’t know the procedure went like that because all I saw was a green light, felt a ticklish sensation and what felt like lens shifting across my eyeball. no pain at all. I think you can’t put dollars and cents to it when it comes to eyesight correction ? you only have a pair of eyeballs so get the best surgeon to do it. the temporarily mild LASIK dry eye I’m having now is nothing compared to the mornings I wake up fumbling for my glasses and spending all that money that could have gone into this op, on contacts and solution and eye drops to keep me from scratching my contacts out of my eyes in dry environments. really, if you’ve saved up or already have the financial means to do it, just do it.
Any side effects u feeling after the surgery?
@rakshanda jabeen i guess its another brain dead people who never stay alive to answer our wuestion
@Yeah, no. did u suffer any side effect after surgery ?
Can you tell me your corneal thickness
are there chances of going blind
This video was scarier then a horror film. I was lituraly closing my eyes when I was watching this video??
?
Yes , I can watch most horrible movie
But I can’t watch this.
@Kavita Mehra its just eye surgery lol
Lol
I’ve been on a research binge and Dr. Dan you have created the best video by far. Excellent narration and explanation, clear and concise.
Great film, Dan! Congratulations!
I am sure SMILE procedure will soon be one of the most important options for corneal refractive procedures!
Renato Ambrósio Jr sir my eyesight is very weak. About L is 4.5 and R is 5 . Will you recommend me this surgery …. its side effects?
I agree with Dr. Renato Ambrósio. Congratulations!!!
Yo, this is awesome, thanks for the video.
I’ll just wear the glasses. Thanks.
@Amara Ezeoke I guess? Still feels like a misrepresentation
@Ez Golf nah, I just meant that James and larray are gay, and they act like that…
@Amara Ezeoke Mate, feminine behaviour doesn’t mean you’re gay, ‘feminine’ behaviour is just that, behaviour, doesn’t matter what orientation you are
@Amara Ezeoke
Back than there were movies in the 2000s with gay jokes in it and you said you feel weird without glasses i like both glasses and without em.
Do you know how to wear contact lens
I hope some doctors will invent a thing that could make the layer separates itself by ITSELF and the doctors just have to pull it out. I hope the procedure will soon evolve to be just 10 seconds for each eye
It’s called SMILE. Google it 🙂 I got it done 2 months ago. Way less invasive than LASIK. The entire procedure (both eyeballs) took no more than 20mins total
@udhay sharma I’m trying bro ? you also have to be around 25yo; or at least show history that your eyesight is stable and isn’t getting worse. Mine kept getting worse until 25 or 26.
@Jecsan TorresLopez u r answering every commeny ? . And i m 14 can i do that my eyesight is around 3 number
@Shaik Afrid I had a -10.00…. got this done yesterday and am seeing 20/20
@Bruno Pereira it’s major side effect is eye dryness
I had this surgery last week. My sister has had it and she asked me not to watch this video before the procedure. I wouldn’t have let anyone near my eye if I had seen this video before ?.
Anyway, it did not hurt at all. The only discomfort I had was the doctor asked me not to wash my face till next visit. (The next visit was after 24 hours and the nurses cleaned up my face before leaving, so it wasn’t that bad.) Other than that, my eyes were a little sensitive to the direct light and reflections. (Not in a bad way though. It was just a little too bright and a little hazy).
Overall it was a complete success. To be honest, I did not expect it to be this easy. Getting an injection will hurt more than this.
It was a very simple procedure. If you are thinking about having it, don’t think twice. Getting rid of glasses is probably the best thing I have done for myself. ☺️
@EVERYTHING PRO I had the SMILE procedure done 3 months ago and don’t regret it at all. I’ve had family members get LASIK and felt the same way, but eye dryness post-op is much less severe with SMILE. I still add drops every couple of days because I work in windy/dusty conditions (they say it can last up to 6 months), but other than that it’s like I never had poor vision
@Final Fantasy is smile better than Lasik or any other surgery which is safe and doesn’t include cutting eyes
Please tell?
@Final Fantasy it is not LASIK it is SMILE
@Final Fantasy woah but my mom and dad wants me to do it when I am older what do i do??
What about now still 20 20
