ReLEx SMILE eye surgery in Prof. Or Kaiserman
About the clinic
ReLEx SMILE eye surgery is a modern laser vision correction method available in Petah Tikva, Israel. This minimally invasive procedure is performed by Prof. Dr. Or Kaiserman, a cornea specialist known for developing advanced surgical techniques. The surgery uses a single laser system to correct vision without creating a traditional corneal flap.
Advanced Laser Correction with ReLEx SMILE
The SMILE method stands for Small Incision Lenticule Extraction. It treats myopia up to -10 D and astigmatism up to 6 D. During the procedure, the surgeon uses a VisuMax femtosecond laser by Zeiss. This laser creates a thin layer of tissue inside the cornea. The surgeon then removes this tissue through a tiny incision measuring only 2 to 4 mm.
The entire process takes about 15 to 30 minutes per eye. Because the incision is so small, the outer layer of the cornea remains mostly intact. This helps maintain the strength of the eye structure after surgery. Patients receive topical anesthesia in the form of eye drops to stay comfortable throughout the treatment.
Expert Care by Prof. Dr. Or Kaiserman
Prof. Dr. Or Kaiserman leads the treatments with extensive experience in corneal and laser surgery. He has published over 100 peer-reviewed research papers in his field. Prof. Dr. Kaiserman also holds the American Academy of Ophthalmology Achievement Award. His background in corneal health helps him manage complex vision correction cases with high precision.
Recovery and Benefits
ReLEx SMILE offers several advantages over older laser methods like LASIK. Since there is no flap, there is a lower risk of long-term dry eye symptoms. This also makes it a safer choice for people who play contact sports or have physically demanding jobs. Most patients notice a significant improvement in their vision within 24 to 48 hours.
- Outpatient care: No hospital stay is needed after the procedure.
- Quick return to activity: Most people resume normal daily tasks within a few days.
- Specific protection: Patients must use eye shields at night and avoid rubbing their eyes.
- Activity limits: Strenuous exercise and swimming should be avoided for two weeks.
