Reportage at the New Vision clinic in Nice, France. This clinic is one of the main centres for refractive surgery in France, with cutting-edge technology for all eye laser operations. The SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) laser technique is a new generation of treatment which enables short-sightedness to be corrected without removing the superficial layer of the cornea, nor opening it. The laser used is a new form of Femtosecond laser, the Femtosecond VisuMax? equipped with the ReLEx? SMILE module.
