ReLEx® SMILE®, also known as SMall Incision Lenticule Extraction, is the most recent advancement in the field of laser vision correction. It is minimally invasive compared to earlier generations of laser vision correction, and preserves the integrity of the cornea. This procedure is used to treat patients with myopia (nearsightedness) and astigmatism. ReLEx® SMILE® is a flapless, painless procedure, with distinct advantages compared to PRK and LASIK.
LASIK stands for Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis. A wide range of myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism can be corrected by the LASIK procedure. It is a delicate surgical procedure where a flap is created and cornea is reshaped to correct your prescription. The flap is then put back into place and begins healing, which allows for a predictable healing response. Your vision stabilizes rapidly and you can expect little or no discomfort following LASIK. Most patients have driving vision within 24 hours of treatment.
PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) is a refractive procedure performed to correct myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. PRK is often recommended for patients who have thin corneas, or when it is deemed the safest vision correction option. Rather than creating a flap on the corneal surface (as in LASIK), the outermost layer of corneal tissue is removed so the cornea can be reshaped to correct vision.
An Intraocular Collamer Lens (ICL) is an implantable contact lens made of a soft biocompatible material, similar to a soft contact lens. Unlike a contact lens, an ICL is permanently positioned inside your eye just behind the iris and in front of the natural lens. In this position, the ICL remains invisible and corrects your vision without causing the optical aberrations occurring from laser treatments to the cornea. An ICL can be a life changing procedure for patients with higher degrees of nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism.
Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE), known by some as a clear lens extraction (CLE), is an intraocular procedure (inside the eye) identical to cataract surgery, but with no cataract present. This surgical procedure is designed to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contacts for people entering middle age. Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) can be used to correct presbyopia (loss of reading vision), myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), or astigmatism. Patients who undergo Refractive Lens Exchange won’t develop cataracts in the future.
Precision Refractive Cataract Surgery combines cataract removal surgery with refractive surgery to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses and contacts post-operatively. Advanced diagnostic technology and premium intraocular lenses (IOL) are used to give you your best possible vision.
Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery uses the Catalys® femtosecond laser and advanced 3D Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) imaging to break up the cataract and prepare it for extraction. The Catalys® is much gentler on the eye than a manual extraction. Laser-Assisted Cataract surgery also combines advanced diagnostic testing with premium IOL options. All cataract procedures done at Herzig Eye Institute use the ORA System™ Technology during surgery to ensure the IOL is placed precisely to give the best possible refractive result.

PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) is a type of refractive procedure performed to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism – just like LASIK vision correction does. The LASIK surgeon use an excimer laser to reshape the cornea to allow light to properly focus on your retina which is the back of your eye. PRK is often recommended for patients who have thin corneas. Rather than creating a flap on the corneal surface (as in LASIK), your doctor removes the outermost layer of corneal tissue so the reshaping process can be administered.
The Visian ICL™ is an implantable lens made of a soft biocompatible material, similar to that of a soft contact lens. Unlike a contact lens, the ICL is permanently positioned inside your eye behind the iris (the colored part of your eye) and in front of the natural lens. In this position, the ICL remains invisible and corrects your vision without causing many of the optical aberrations that occur from laser treatments to the cornea for higher degrees of nearsightedness.
