In this book an international panel of authors offer a clear,
step-by-step approach to Small Incision Lenticule Extraction
(SMILE), a new refractive procedure approved for the treatment of
myopia and astigmatism that is a truly minimally invasive
key-hole type surgery. The book opens by discussing important
fundamentals of the technology, followed by a close look at the
healing response. The current surgical techniques are then
described in detail with the aim of providing easy-to-understand
guidance for all who wish to perform SMILE surgery or to identify
solutions to pitfalls that may arise during the learning curve.
Further sections cover the clinical science relating to SMILE
(explaining underlying principles), discuss ongoing
investigations to further expand the spectrum of SMILE surgery
and offer suggestions on how to market the procedure and
communicate it to the prospective patient. This guide is “a must”
for everyone who wishes to enter the exciting world of SMILE.
