| Roayah Centers is privileged to be one of the few centers around the world, which also does an all-in-one femtosecond laser refractive surgery. This goes by the name of ReLeX. Within ReLeX, there are two procedures, FLeX and SMILE |
| |
| FLEx (Femtosecond Lenticule Extraction) |
| FLEx is similar to LASIK, in that a flap is created, and lifted to a side. However, instead of the standard blade less LASIK where a flap is made with the femtosecond laser, and the refractive correction done with the excimer laser, FLEx involves using the femtosecond laser to cut a refractive lenticule in the same step as the flap creation. The refractive lenticule is peeled off the corneal bed, rather than being ablated (i.e., being converted into a gas) with the excimer laser. FLEx offers all the safety of no blade LASIK, with a more elegant work flow and more stable results than with standard blade free LASIK. |

| SMILE: Small Incision Lenticule Extraction |
|
SMILE takes FLEx even further. Instead of creating and lifting a flap, a refractive lenticule is carved within the cornea, and removed through a small incison. SMILE is the culmination of the ReLEx technique. It offers many advantages to both the patient and the doctor. It is quick, extremely safe.
