Femto SMILE 3D: The New Standard in Laser Vision Correction
Experience the latest innovation in laser vision correction with Femto SMILE 3D, a cutting-edge procedure that uses precise femtosecond laser technology with lenticular extraction. This advanced technique requires only a tiny 4mm side-cut in the cornea, leaving most of the upper corneal layers untouched for a faster procedure and quicker recovery. Unlike traditional LASIK, Femto SMILE 3D is completely flapless, minimizing surgical impact on corneal stability and ensuring exceptional accuracy in vision correction. Under the expert supervision of Dr. Tamer Salem, the entire process is completed in just 10 to 20 minutes in the most comfortable and reassuring conditions.Why Choose Femto SMILE 3D?

- Less dry eye – Reduced post-procedure dryness.
- More corneal stability – Minimally invasive with no drastic impact on the cornea.
- Safer procedure – Lower risk of infection or tissue ingrowth.
- Ideal for higher prescriptions – Suitable for patients with higher refractive errors.
- Smaller incision – 80% smaller than the cuts involved in older techniques.
Femto LASIK vs. Femto SMILE 3D: What’s the Difference?
Femto LASIK requires two steps and involves creating a flap:- The first step uses a femtosecond laser to cut a flap in the cornea, which is lifted to reshape the underlying tissue.
- The second step uses an Excimer Laser Machine to reshape the cornea for vision correction before repositioning the flap.
- Though highly accurate, this procedure involves direct contact with the eye and increases surface pressure.
- Femto SMILE 3D, on the other hand, is a fully bladeless, flapless, and faster procedure:
- Using the VisuMax machine by Carl Zeiss, a femtosecond laser creates a precise lenticule inside the cornea.
- This lenticule, which varies in thickness based on the patient’s prescription, is extracted through a minute 2mm keyhole opening.
- The procedure is completely enclosed, eliminating flap-related complications and ensuring a more stable, safer, and efficient outcome.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Your Questions, Answered Clearly and Simply
How long does a qualification examination take?
Our complete examination take around two hours. It is a series of specialized tests by which we determine your prescription, the thickness of the cornea, etc. Based on this examination your doctor will suggest the best method of correction. Since the examination may involve the application of pupil-dilating eye drops, you are advised not to drive a vehicle and have someone accompany you to drive you home.
Can I drive after the procedure?
You want to refrain from driving until your doctor tells you your vision is stable and it is safe to do so.
Why should I stop using lenses before my eye exam?
If you are wearing lenses, the measurements can be misleading. Contact lenses can alter the condition and shape of your cornea. It is advisable to stop using lenses at least 2 weeks before your exam.
What is the maximum age limit for laser vision correction procedures?
There is no such limit. It is agreed that a patient should be in generally good health (e.g. no diabetes, allergies, etc.) After your consultation, your doctor will advise you on possible treatments based on your situation.
