Small Incision Lenticule Extraction Smile Cost In Max Super Speciality Hospital Patparganj New Delhi

Small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) is a newer type of laser refractive surgery. This kind of surgery uses a laser to treat myopia (nearsightedness) and astigmatism (irregularly shaped cornea).
During the SMILE procedure, the patient is raised to the contact glass of the femtosecond laser and suction ports are activated to keep the patient's eye fixated in the correct position while the lenticule is created. The lower interface of the intrastromal lenticule is created first (using an out-to-in direction with the laser to maximize the time without blurring the patient’s central vision), followed by the upper interface of the lenticule (using an in-to-out direction), known as the cap, and finally a 2–3 mm tunnel incision (usually supero-temporal) that links the cap interface to the corneal surface.
