What is ReLEx SMILE
This is the most eye-friendly laser eye surgery technique. Your eyes experience minimal stress, making it a comfortable treatment with fast vision recovery and no pain.
ReLEx SMILE: extremely comfortable
The ReLEx SMILE treatment is extremely comfortable, because your eye experiences minimal stress.
In just half a minute, the lenticule is detached by the laser. This is a lens-shaped piece of tissue, which, when removed, provides the right correction to make your vision sharp again.
The ophthalmologist removes the excess tissue through a tiny opening.
How does the treatment work?
1: Anesthesia with eye drops.
2: Laser creates the lenticule and the tiny opening in the cornea.
3: Ophthalmologist removes the lenticule through the opening.
4: Your vision is sharp after a few days.

Frequently asked questions about ReLEx SMILE
Can anything happen to the lenticule during removal? arrow_downward
Your minimum prescription must be -1 or +0.25 to safely perform the ReLEx SMILE PRO treatment. This prescription ensures the lenticule has sufficient thickness to be removed.
What are the disadvantages of ReLEx SMILE PRO? arrow_downward
A ReLEx SMILE PRO treatment is not possible for higher cylinder strengths.
Why am I not eligible for laser eye surgery if I have a higher prescription? arrow_downward
It is possible that you expected in advance to be eligible for laser eye surgery with your prescription. Perhaps you have even had a preliminary examination at another eye clinic which showed this. However, it may be that the advice after a preliminary examination at FYEO is to opt for an ExtraLens treatment.
We always want the best result for you. Not only now, but also for the future. With laser eye surgery, we change the shape of the cornea. When a higher strength laser is required, the shape of the cornea is also adjusted more. For now, this might be safe and responsible, but if the cornea needs to be adjusted significantly, it could be that you are not or less suitable for another treatment in the future, such as a lens replacement.
With an ExtraLens treatment we do not change anything in your cornea, so this is still possible.
When is there a medical indication for laser eye surgery? arrow_downward
A medical indication applies in the case of contact lens intolerance in combination with extreme plus or minus strength deviations and an exceptional astigmatism .
Basic insurance reimbursement
In some situations, reimbursement from basic insurance is possible. Only the ophthalmologist can determine on the basis of the preliminary examination whether you are eligible for this. Ultimately, your health insurer will make a decision on this.
What if I rub my eyes after laser eye surgery? arrow_downward
You may not rub your eyes for two weeks after laser eye surgery. For hygiene, healing, wrinkling and the bandage lens.
Lasek & TransPRK
With the Lasek and TransPRK treatment you get a bandage lens in your eyes. By accidentally rubbing your eyes you could move it. This lens is removed after 5 days.
IntraLasik Femtosecond & ReLEx SMILE
With the IntraLasik Femtosecond and ReLEx SMILE treatment, there is a small chance of wrinkling when you rub your eyes, especially in the first few days. If this unexpectedly happens to you, you can recognize it by burning, red eyes and blurred vision. Fortunately, it can be fixed.
