I thought that Smile introduced the least amount of HOA Spherical aberrations of them all. Could you specify the HOA's you are talking about and the problem with the specific HOA's ? I am in the process of researching which eye surgery I should go with. My gut feeling tells me to go with tPRK. I think Smile looks good but is heavily marketed by a certain company and because of that I am really cautious. Also my technical questions are almost never answered by most clinics I go to. This info is really welcome.

Wouldn't the lack of a flap in SMILE procedures be an advantage over LASIK, which does require flap creation? It seems as if you'd eliminate (or at least reduce) flap-related complications including detachment

All types of laser eye ops cause permanent corneal nerve damage which can result in horrific eye and even neuropathic pain, and this is why it's Russian Roulette anywhere!

It can cause symptoms of eye discomfort that last longer than the others since you're waiting for the outer layer of the cornea to regenerate.

@teddysurf2 жыл бұрын
@@TOMLINBISH with PRK it’s not exactly the same thing, because the corneal nerves regrow from the outside to the center with the remaining epithelium. So once it regrows, you still have a full electrical, nerve pathway. Lasik, you sever the nerves and then place the flap back, and the electrical pathways never fully recover.

@matthewgraham654010 ай бұрын
You have less cornea tissue after PRK. This could cause instability in the cornea which could lead to the disease progressing, even after cross linking, hydrops, scaring, some people have late onset corneal haze which could obscure vision. In a few extreme cases, they have a remodeling of their cornea and overcroction.

For very active persons like martial artists, swimmers, etc., isn't the LASIK flap cornea mechanically less stable than the Relex Smile treated cornea? Is the Relex Smile treated patient less likely to have regression, less likely to need a touch up surgery?
