> KPJ introduces a new vision correction procedure known as ReLEx SMILE

-

much gentler on the eye.

On top of that, there is also no frightenin­g ‘blackout’ or bleeding during the procedure or swelling of the eye after treatment.

Seeing as how this procedure creates a much smaller wound with its minimally-invasive surgery, it also results in a much stronger eye and less immediate postoperat­ive discomfort and tearing.

The smaller incision also means fewer corneal nerves are severed during the procedure, which also means less dry eyes.

Adding on to this, one of the main fears when it comes to the Lasik procedure is flap displaceme­nt or dislodgeme­nt.

Since ReLEx SMILE doesn’t create a flap, there will be no such problems and is a good option for those who are involved in contact sport.

While results after the procedure may vary, most patients said they have experience­d a dramatic improvemen­t in their vision in just a day after surgery as well as sustained stability days after their operation.

Although laser eye correction is a low-risk procedure with a high success rate, it is not to be taken lightly as it is a surgical procedure that carries surgical risks.

Before opting for surgery, please do have your eyes properly evaluated and examined by an eye surgeon and discuss all options and potential risks in detail before making any final choices.
