SMILE – charakterystyka zabiegu i jakość życia pacjentów

Abstracts

PL

Zabieg laserowej korekcji wad wzroku ReLEx® SMILE jest stosunkowo nowym, bezpłatkowym zabiegiem refrakcyjnym, wykonywanym tylko przy użyciu lasera femtosekundowego. Zyskał on uznanie zarówno wśród okulistów, jak i pacjentów, stanowiąc alternatywę dla zabiegu LASIK, uważanego dotąd za złoty standard w korekcji krótkowzroczności i astygmatyzmu krótkowzrocznego. W niniejszym artykule przedstawiono charakterystykę zabiegu ReLEx® SMILE w porównaniu z innymi zabiegami laserowej korekcji wad wzroku oraz jego wpływ na jakość życia pacjentów po zabiegu.

ReLEx® SMILE is a relatively new flapless laser vision correction procedure carried out exclusively by femtosecond laser which earned confidence among both physicians and patients. The procedure constitutes an alternative to LASIK, which was considered so far the golden standard in myopia and myopic astigmatism corrections. The present paper discusses the advantages of the ReLEx® SMILE in comparison with other types of laser vision correction, including the patients quality of life after ReLEx® SMILE.
