Relex® SMILE

The Relex® SMILE laser eye method is currently the most advanced laser eye method in the world. The method is accurate, safe and has less risk of complications than other laser treatment methods.

Visus Oogkliniek has a specialist in-house, Otto Wolter, who was the first to apply the method in the Netherlands. Because of his expertise, Otto is regularly asked to talk about ReLEx SMILE at medical conferences.

How does ReLEx® SMILE work

With the Relex® SMILE, the doctor only makes a small opening of 2 to 4 millimeters in the cornea with the VisuMax laser. With the laser, the doctor makes a wafer-thin slice of tissue (lenticule). This disc is then removed through the small opening.

  1. Anesthesia Your eye is first numbed with eye drops. As a result, you will not feel any pain during the treatment

  2. Formation of the lenticule The surgeon uses the laser to make a kind of lens in the corneal tissue: the lenticule. Then the surgeon uses the laser to make a small opening in the cornea.

  3. Remove Lenticle The surgeon removes the lenticule through the opening. The cornea now has the correct shape and thus the strength of the eye has been corrected.

  • 5 sterren Very knowledgeable physicians who will answer any question...

    Very competent doctors who patiently answer every question and create a realistic picture. The nurses and ladies at the front desk are also very friendly and helpful. The stress doll I received during surgery has been given a nice spot on my closet. Many thanks from a very sharp looking and satisfied customer.

  • 5 sterren Great result

    Just over a year ago I had my eyes lasered. For the first few months one eye still had a reasonable deviation. It is now almost completely gone and I can see super sharp again. Thanks Visus!

  • 5 sterren Relex Smile…

    I had the Relex-Smile treatment in July 2020, my left eye was -5.75 and my right eye was -5.50. The treatment itself took no more than 10 minutes, after that I suffered from stinging eyes for a few days but vision was 100% almost immediately. I doubted for a long time but now I am so happy. Thank you Visus...
