SMILE is a much newer procedure, being introduced to Australia within the last 5 years and is not widely available at this stage. It uses a femtosecond laser to separate a precisely-shaped disc of tissue from within the cornea. This tissue is then removed through a keyhole incision.

Awe Inspiring Facts About the Human Eye 1. Every human in the world is born colourblind 2. Every human in the world is also born without the ability to produce tears. Even though we are making crying sounds our tear ducts only start working when we are 4-13 weeks old. 3. Not everything is going to get bigger as you age. Your eyeballs stay the same size throughout your entire life. From the day you are born till the day you die your eyes do not grow. 4. In the blink of an eye. 1/10th of a second is the average length of a blink.
How does corneal infection occur? The eye is an almost sterile environment. Unlike the mouth, which literally contains millions of bacteria, the eye has almost none, other than a few that fall in off the eyelashes and eyelids. Even if bacteria get into the eye, the tears are a powerful antibacterial agent and the lids and lashes sweep them away immediately. The cells of the outer layer of the cornea – or epithelium – are so tightly joined together that bacteria just can’t get through.
