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.

Jack CreedNovember 30, 2021.I would like to take this opportunity to thank the complete staff at Hertzig Eye for the unbelievable great experience i had getting my eyes done yesterday. I particularly would like to highly recommend Dr. Milad Modabber who did an amazing job on me. His bedside manners were unbelievable very calming and he gave me full confidence in him just by the tone in his voice. During the procedure i had no discomfort or pain whatsoever. When i went home an hour later i was able to read my computer without glasses and never felt any thing from the operation. What a fantastic experience. I am telling everyone who asks how it went
Sasha FolgoasNovember 27, 2021.clean clinic, excellent staff, amazing overall!
Christie GrayNovember 15, 2021.My whole experience was wonderful. I had sought a consultation from another provider before, and everything about the Herzig experience was superior when I entered the office - the cleanliness, the friendliness, and the thoroughness. I was made to feel like I was listened to and they presented a better option than what I was given at the first location. The only bump in my pre-surgical procedures came from an outside clinic, but everything in relation to Herzig was smooth. I completed my ICL surgery with Dr Modabber mid-October, and it went seamlessly. Both in the pre-op waiting room, and in the post-op. Dr Modabber made me feel very comfortable with all of my appointments, and was amazing in surgery. Once my pupil size returned to normal my vision was sooo drastically improved - it is miraculous from where I was. The Herzig team gave me very clear instructions for every step of the process. I really can't recommend them enough for any eye surgery you may need.
Merav AnafiNovember 4, 2021.I had successful cataract surgery with amazing doctors who are continuing to follow up with me and who help me resolve issues with my eye that are unrelated to the cataract. I greatly appreciate their help!
Brenda ONeillOctober 26, 2021.Recommend Herzig Eye Institute, Ottawa! on many accounts. Professional, Personal, Communication and Timeliness. Recommend Dr. Miller.

Amelia ChandOctober 22, 2021.I came to Herzig because my partner had gotten his eyes done here (SMILE) and mentioned how painless and quick the recovery was. I had done consultations for LASIK, PRK, SBK at previous places and just wasn’t confident in the results that they were going to give me, as well as couldn’t take the time off required for recovery. Went for a consultation, and I was super happy to learn that I was a candidate for SMILE, and jumped on the opportunity to do my eyes this month. The surgery: The surgery itself lasts a few minutes. You’re awake the whole time, and can see. The machine they use suctions to your eye, and then the lasers go to work. The surgeon will then remove the layer by making a small incision. You don’t feel anything really. Maybe a bit of pressure but besides that nothing. Not painful, no smell. Immediately after: I had a hard time keeping my eyes open after the surgery, so had my partner pick me up, and i went straight to sleep. That helped. They give you T3s, but honestly you don’t really need them. When the numbing drops wear off however it does feel like your eyes are burning (hence keeping them closed). But this sensation goes away after a few hours. Recovery: you need to take antibiotic and steroids drops multiple times a day for the week after. It has been a week, and I can see excellently. My near vision hasn’t recovered just yet, that will happen in a month, but I am back to my regular activities including work. I sit at a computer all day, so that can be taxing on the eyes, but I’ve been taking breaks and using my lubricating drops to help. I’m super happy with the results so far, there has been no dry eye, or feeling of sand, nothing like that! 100% recommend this surgery. It’s the least invasive, and has the quickest recovery. Dr. Modabber did an excellent job!
