Overview

Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE) was introduced in 2011 using the VISUMAX femtosecond laser (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany). It is designed for correction of myopia and myopic astigmatism.

It involves the creation of a corneal tissue disk called lenticule and its extraction through a minimally invasive incision, utilizing only a femtosecond laser. This enables rapid visual recovery with very little discomfort to the patient.

This observational case series monitors visual and refractive outcomes of myopic correction for more than -7.75 D.

It is to

  • gather long-term results and refractive stability
  • detect rare complications or side-effects
  • evaluate the efficacy in a large number of patients

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • adults
  • myopia more than -7.75 D
  • refractive stability more than 1 year

Exclusion Criteria:

  • corneal irregular astigmatism
  • ectatic conditions

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
