ReLEx SMILE eye surgery in Liv Bona Dea Hospital Baku
About the clinic
ReLEx SMILE eye surgery at Liv Bona Dea Hospital Baku in Azerbaijan is a modern way to fix vision issues. This procedure uses a femtosecond laser to correct myopia and astigmatism with high precision. The clinic is known for its JCI accreditation and a 100% compliance rate with international health safety standards.
Advanced Laser Vision Correction
ReLEx SMILE stands for Small Incision Lenticule Extraction. This method is minimally invasive because it does not require a large flap in the cornea. Instead, the laser creates a thin layer of tissue called a lenticule inside the eye. The surgeon removes this through a tiny opening. This approach helps keep the eye surface stronger than older methods.
Patients often choose this procedure for its specific benefits:
- Fast visual recovery allows most people to return to daily life within a few days.
- The small incision reduces the risk of dry eye symptoms after surgery.
- The procedure helps those with myopia and astigmatism see clearly without glasses.
