Refractive surgery refers to a number of surgical procedures that correct common vision problems (nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia), freeing you from dependence on prescription eyeglasses and contact lenses.
ReLEX SMILE, or Small-Incision Lenticule Extraction, is the newest method of refractive surgery. Patients who choose SMILE over other procedures can enjoy benefits such as avoiding risk of flap complications which may occur during LASIK, as well as reduced occurrence of Dry Eye Syndrome.
Alternatively, LASIK is the most popular refractive surgery performed in Taiwan and around the world and has been used for decades. Our team of ophthalmologists have decades of experience in LASIK and will conduct an effective, safe procedure.
There are many other types of refractive surgery, including other laser procedures and intraocular lens procedures. We will be able to help you make the best choice for yourself, depending on your needs.
