VIDEO: SMILE enhancement helps maintain epithelium in prior refractive surgery cases
NEW YORK — In a presentation at OSN New York, William F. Wiley, MD, discusses the advantages of using SMILE in prior refractive surgery cases and provides insight on specific techniques using surgical footage.
“SMILE enhancement allows for multiple approaches to maintain epithelium and thus allows for more predictable healing,” he said. “You can do a thin flap, a thick-flap LASIK, side cut only or an expanded zone cap-to-flap technique to help preserve that epithelium and get those predictable results.”
