ICC-W3

ReLEx smile is a new, non-invasive technique for the corneal correction of refractive errors. Because a lenticule is created in the stroma, the anterior portion of the stroma (the cap) is left in situ. The only alteration at the level of the corneal surface is a 2 mm incision needed to remove the lenticule. The topics that will be covered are:

1. Biomechanic properties  of the cornea 

2. Indications and patient selection 

3. Surgical technique and possible complications

4. Refractive outcomes
