SmartSight eye surgery:
Refractive lenticule extraction
to correct vision.

SmartSight is a flapless refractive correction surgery that uses the KLex (Keratorefractive Lenticule Extraction) method. It is an evolution of the SMILE procedure. SmartSight incorporates specialised eye tracking and targeted technology for precise vision correction, and is minimally invasive by using a femtosecond laser.

How does SmartSight eye surgery work?

SmartSight involves the use of a femtosecond laser to create a thin layer of corneal tissue (lenticule) in the
cornea, which is then removed through a small incision. SmartSight is a type of ReLEx (Refractive Lenticule
Extraction). These procedures have been used for over 10 years (e.g. ReLEx SMILE).

‍

STEP 1

The femtosecond laser makes a small cut in your cornea. This is done to facilitate its creation and of a lenticule or lens-shaped piece of tissue within the cornea.

‍

STEP 2

Once the laser has cut the lenticule, your surgeon removes it from your eye through the keyhole incision made earlier. This changes the cornea’s curvature and achieves refractive correction.

What are the benefits of
SmartSight eye surgery?

SmartSight is a LASIK eye surgery similar to ReLEx SMILE, but with several refinements. Shallower incisions support a quicker recovery. Improved precision improves treatment of astigmatism and myopia. Enhanced eye tracking and pupil recognition also address eye movements and rotation for safety.

Minimally invasive

‍The femtosecond laser used in SmartSight is less invasive than the one used in traditional LASIK eye surgery. It makes a smaller incision for reduced tissue disruption. The result is a reduced risk of complications like dry eyes and reduced corneal sensitivity.

Flapless surgery

‍Unlike traditional LASIK, SmartSight eye surgery does not require the surgeon to cut a flap in the cornea. This helps avoid flap-related complications and maintains a more stable corneal structure. It may also be more suitable for patients with active lifestyles, who worry about dislodging corneal flaps.
‍

Quick recovery

‍Patients generally experience a faster recovery period with SmartSight because there is no corneal flap to heal. Most are even able to resume daily activities within a few days of having the procedure.

Customisable and convenient

‍SmartSight can be tailored to each individual’s specific eye condition for precise and effective treatment. This is paired with the convenience of the correction being performed entirely with the femtosecond machine. This means the patient can stay in one position throughout the procedure.

Gentle, comfortable, and quick

‍The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia for a comfortable experience with minimal discomfort. The usual total treatment time per eye is also only about 7 to 12 minutes, depending on the patient’s circumstances.

Stable and predictable long-term results

‍SmartSight has been shown to provide consistent and accurate vision correction outcomes for myopia and astigmatism. It provides lasting visual improvement with a lower chance of regression over time.
