A member asked:
Is relex smile eye surgery still too developmental/in its early stages to be considered safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Smile: Small incision lenticular surgery has been used for several years. Some feel because it uses no flap,involves smaller area of cornea makes it a safer procedure. It also uses a different laser.If considering smile make sure the surgeon is well experienced in the technique.Some still feel lasik is just as good.
