Other Xtra Procedures

PRK Xtra and SMILE Xtra are not unlike the LASIK Xtra procedure.

Similarly, for PRK Xtra and SMILE Xtra, cross-linking is performed during the refractive procedure to strengthen the cornea of the eye. PRK Xtra and SMILE Xtra involve the following steps:

R

PRK or SMILE eye surgery performed as usual

R

VibeX Xtra eye drops are applied to the cornea

R

The cornea is then illuminated with ultra-violet A (UVA) light

Benefits of Xtra

If you are a candidate for LASIK, SMILE, or PRK you are likely a candidate for Lasik Xtra, SMILE Xtra, or PRK Xtra too. Talk to your surgeon to see if the benefits are right for you.

Incorporating Lasik Xtra, SMILE Xtra, or PRK Xtra into your procedure improves the strength of the cornea.1

Lock-in the Prescription

Lasik Xtra, SMILE Xtra, or PRK Xtra may extend the longevity of your procedure and could eliminate the need for touch-up procedures, reducing the potential for long-term changes to your vision.2

Improve Procedure Accuracy

Enjoy life with the better vision that Lasik Xtra, SMILE Xtra, or PRK Xtra can provide.3

Over 200,000 eyes have been successfully treated with Lasik Xtra around the world using the KXL System.

PRK Xtra and SMILE Xtra have the potential to:4

R

Prolong the effectiveness of PRK or SMILE

R

Improve the predictability of the refractive procedure

R

Reduce refractive regression and the potential for long-term changes in your vision

“Studies have shown that cross-linking at the time of refractive surgery could also improve the stability of the refractive outcome over time and reduce regression.”
