SMILE procedure after barrage laser
Hi Experts,
I have recently undergone barrage laser in RE to prevent future retinal detachment as I was examined to have retina stretch.
Now, can I consider SMILE procedure for correction of power (RE -1.75, LE -3.75)
Is it 100% safe considering I have a history of retina stretch though both these are un related.
Thanks in advance.

If the weak spots in the retina have been treated and your retina has been thoroughly examined by a Retina specialist, you can definitely go ahead with SMILE.
