Laser Vision Correction from ZEISS

A broad portfolio in refractive surgery

From the start, ZEISS played an instrumental role in helping to advance corneal surgery. Today, ZEISS offers one of the most comprehensive Laser Vision Correction procedure portfolios in the industry, including LASIK, Femto-LASIK and SMILE®. We always follow our mission to create better vision standards for everyone, while also enabling you to provide better choices and the right solution in refractive surgery to any eligible patient.

A broad portfolio to grow your business

Applications

Laser Vision Correction procedures

LASIK

During LASIK, the VisuMax® femtosecond laser from ZEISS or a microkeratome creates a flap that is folded back. After the MEL® 80 excimer laser from ZEISS has done the corneal shaping, the flap is then repositioned on the eye.

SMILE

During SMILE®, the ZEISS VisuMax femtosecond laser creates a lenticule inside the cornea and a small incision in one single step. The lenticule is then manually extracted through the access cut by the surgeon.

Business growth with ReLEx SMILE

Business growth opportunities with ReLEx SMILE

Extending your portfolio in refractive surgery also means extending possibilities for your business. Surgeons who already practice SMILE see the potential that SMILE offers for growing their Laser Vision Correction business. SMILE surgery offers practices the potential to increase their revenue due to a higher patient volume.

SMILE: Minimally invasive with maximum impact

As a minimally invasive procedure, SMILE has a high satisfaction rate with patients due to its safety and overall comfort. The all-in-one procedure avoids the creation of a flap. SMILE offers the potential for more reduced disruption both to the anterior cornal stroma and the corneal nerve plexus.

Excimer laser from ZEISS

Refractive surgery excellence

For decades, the excimer laser has been a proven technology for safe, efficient and effective Laser Vision Correction. It can be used as a solution for a wide range of refractive errors and has defined corneal refractive surgery like no other technology. A best practice example is the ZEISS MEL® 80.

Femtosecond laser from ZEISS

Minimally invasive surgery

This technology made way for additional treatment opportunities – like SMall Incision Lenticule Extraction, better known as SMILE, making it possible for surgeons to treat refractive errors with a minimally invasive solution. With VisuMax and ReLEx® SMILE®, ZEISS offers the first commercially available solution for performing SMILE.
