PRK, LASIK and SMILE –
The Three Generations
Corneal refractive laser surgery is a widely used option for correcting vision impairment,
one that has evolved within a relatively brief span of only 30 years. As in other areas John Marshall

generations of techniques, in particular, shaped the field: PRK, LASIK and SMILE. for vision
correction
2nd generation of laser vision correction, also involves reshaping the cornea with an excimer
laser. Using flap surgery, it enables quick visual recovery, which in part has made it a very
popular treatment today. SMILE, the 3rd generation of laser vision correction, is a small 1896 1930 1963 1985 1986 1987 1988 1990 1999 2000 2006 2011 2015

The Three Generations of Laser Vision Correction SMILE
Small incision lenticule extraction offers many advantages
SMILE has made minimally invasive, flapless surgery possible for the first time. The clinical
PRK LASIK SMILE procedure is based on the lenticule extraction technique, in which a lens-shaped piece of
corneal stromal tissue is removed through a small incision. With an 80 % smaller
side-cut and a 30 % smaller cap cut than is needed for LASIK, SMILE offers the potential

for less incidence of dry eye, infection and epithelial ingrowth. The cornea remains largely
intact to provide more biomechanical preservation and stability.

SMILE combines the advantages of PRK and LASIK ReLEx SMILE from ZEISS
The first minimally invasive, flapless SMILE solution
PRK – 1st Generation With ReLEx® SMILE, ZEISS is the first company to provide a way for treating
patients with the minimally invasive, flapless SMILE procedure. The development
of SMILE suggests that the future of refractive surgery is minimally invasive.
Now is the time to move up to the 3rd generation of laser vision correction.
