SMILE LASIK
SMall Incision Lenticule Extraction
Creates a lenticule inside
the cornea with a laser,
removes it through a 2mm incision
to correct vision.

ZEISS SMILE CENTER
with VisuMax 500
First Eye Center
ZEISS VisuMax 500
Invisible subtle differences create perfect vision.
German ZEISS VisuMax 500 precisely corrects with minimal laser energy
that minimizes eye stimulation.
Through delicate curved dosing technology and stabilized energy control system,
it provides smoother and safer surgical results.
Precise lenticule extraction
Minimizes incision range to speed recovery,
improves correction uniformity for clearer vision.Personalized energy control
Auto-adjusts energy intensity and depth
based on patient's corneal condition and eye response for optimal cutting.Curved alignment matching natural curvature
Sophisticated curved design following eye shape
provides natural vision and comfortable correction.World-recognized safety
Vision correction laser system meeting global safety standards
certified by US FDA, European CE, Korean MFDS.

Lenticule sidecut design patent
Vertical and side incision planes to remove lenticule created inside cornea
without damaging other eye parts, enhancing safety during extraction,
preventing lenticule damage (tearing), reducing dryness and pain - ZEISS patented technology.
If lenticule is not properly removed
irregular astigmatism may occur

Suction eye fixation system
ZEISS SMILE suction fixation gently but firmly fixes the eye.
Ideal suction pressure and ergonomically designed fixation device
enable real-time detection and auto-adjustment for stable, accurate laser application.
"Suction fixation method"
Auto pressure adjustment
Z-axis
Physical detection and correction possible during laser application in suction process,
immediate re-surgery possible even if suction loss occurs in patients with excessive movement.
Globally verified safety
VisuMax is an ophthalmic semiconductor femtosecond laser device
certified by US FDA, European CE, Korean MFDS,
globally recognized high-performance vision correction equipment in accuracy and safety.
