Clear SMILE LASIK

Born from combining the strengths of LASIK and LASEK. Beyond SMILE — the 4th-generation refractive surgery, Clear SMILE LASIK.

Using the special laser of Swiss Ziemer logo Ziemer's FEMTO LDV Z8, the procedure passes through the corneal surface to shape a lenticule inside the stromal layer, then extracts it through a 2mm micro-incision to correct refractive errors.

Low energy & faster speed for safer surgery

Clear SMILE LASIK Surgery Process

STEP 1 — lenticule formation
STEP 1

The Z8 low-energy laser shapes a lenticule in the corneal stroma.

STEP 2 — micro-incision
STEP 2

A minimal 2mm incision is made on the cornea.

STEP 3 — lenticule extraction
STEP 3

The lenticule is extracted through the previously created channel.

Why Clear SMILE is special — 1

Low Energy & High Rate

A finer, smoother corneal surface

Conventional SMILE — lower-speed laser may leave undivided regions in the corneal stromaLasers under 500 kHzPeripheral corneal stromal tearing possible from undissected areasSlow speed, under 500 kHzLenticuleConventional SMILE

Using a laser more than 10× faster than conventional lenticule-extraction procedures, even at low energy the cornea is shaped densely and smoothly — minimizing corneal damage and improving visual quality.

Cyclo Compensation

Accurate astigmatism correction & reduced glare

Cyclo compensation

With the upgraded interface, centration can be adjusted even after docking. The lenticule is shaped with cyclotorsion-induced error factored in, enabling precise astigmatism correction, while mitigating the glare that such error may cause.

High-resolution OCT

Safer lenticule removal

Real-time high-resolution OCT verifies the surgical area and both the front and rear surfaces of the lenticule, enabling more precise and safer extraction.

Improved Docking System

Very low suction-loss probability

Conventional SMILE docking — unstable contact may cause eye compression and suction loss

Clear SMILE LASIK docking — stable contact with very low suction-loss probability

Unlike conventional systems where the device clamps to the eye under high pressure, the improved docking system markedly reduces the chance of suction loss caused by eye tremor or movement during surgery.

Note: Post-operative outcomes can include night glare, dry eye, myopic regression or keratoconus depending on individual condition. Please consult with a specialist before deciding.
