1 Efficacy, precision, accuracy, and safety of the SMILE procedure Jesper Hjortdal Clinical professor Head of Corneal & Refractive Surgery Department of Ophthalmology Aarhus University Hospital Denmark Small incision lenticule extraction SMILE 1
2 Potential advantages of ReLEx Compared with the excimer laser, femtosecond laser cutting is independent of Stromal hydration Laser fluence Environment Better efficacy, precision, accuracy, safety optics The lenticule may be extracted through a small peripheral pocket avoiding a flap Sensitivity Stable corneal mechanics Small-incision lenticule extraction for moderate to high myopia: Predictability, safety, and patient satisfaction.

11 Patients Satisfaction ReLEx - 2 prospective studies from Aarhus: patients (SMILE), 3 months follow-up - 34 patients (FLEX and SMILE), 6 months follow-up How satisfied are you with your laser surgery for nearsightedness? Mean score from 9.1 to 9.3 (range from 4.5 to 10) 97 % were satisfied or very satisfied Related to spectacle independence Questionnaire and verbal responses were identical (no examiner bias) 94 % to 100 % would recommend surgery to others. Vestergaard et al, JCRS 2012, SMILE Vestergaard et al, JCRS 2013, FLEX and SMILE 21 Refractive results in summary Very good spherical equivalent refractive outcome - independent on the attempted correction 13-16% undercorrection of high cylinders More than 90% may drive a car without glasses Very little refractive regression High patients satisfaction 11

Riau AK, Ang HP, Lwin NC, Chaurasia SS, Tan DT, Mehta JS. J Refract Surg Apr;29(4): PRK (LASIK) Cap Opening (+excimer) SMILE above or deeper Safe distance Summary ReLEx SMILE is efficient, precise, accurate, and safe for treatment of moderate and high myopia, and for myopic-astigmatism Most surgeons prefer to do the enhancement by excimer laser ablation either on the surface, in the stromal bed after creation of a flap or opening the cap. 12
