Course Overview
The aim of this course is to provide corneal refractive surgeons who are interested in starting or are already performing small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) with a detailed description of all aspects of the procedure.
The focus of the course will be on practical details and surgical pearls set against the backdrop of our experience of over 55,000 SMILE procedures (Top 1 in the world) and research. Essentially, we consider this to be a surgical video-fellowship that enables the attendee to learn from complications as well as successes. Each aspect of the course is taught in granular detail so that the attendee will feel very well equipped to make improvements to their current practice or starting to perform SMILE with a wide knowledge base to reduce the learning curve.
