115Rad 530. Medical Sciences, 44(2017) :103-120International Scientific Symposium What’s New in Refractive Eye Surgery In contrast to LASIK, ReLEx - SMILE has a very small corneal incision of 2-3 mm. Postoperative complications like epithelial ingrowth or flap striae do therefore not happen after ReLEx - SMILE. The risk for dry eyes or keratectasia is also lower after ReLEx - SMILE. The postoperative refractive results show 95% of the patients within target refraction of ± 0.5 D and a low regression of 0.07D during a follow-up period of 5 years.ReLEx - SMILE can only be performed at the moment with the Visumax from Zeiss company, but other companies like Wavelight, bausch & Lomb or Schwind are trying hard to catch up in this technology of refractive surgery of the future.Keywords: corneal refractive surgery; ReLex-Smile; femtolaser.NOVEL  APPROACHES  OF  LASER  CORNEAL  SURGERY  FOR  PRESbYOPIA  CORRECTIONSlobodanka LatinovićSpecial Eye Hospital “Vidar Orasis Swiss “The author reviewing the current available corneal proce-dures and the recent advances of presbyopia binocular multifocal correction - no monovision with laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) - no knife procedure, who is carried out with two Lasers system - LDV™Femto second CristaLine for the corneal flap creation and other Excimer laser system for a new aspheric SupraCore procedure on the cornea. Supracor multifocal treatment was applied on 240 eyes of 118 patients; 138 cases has hyperopia spherical equivalent (SE) +1,35 D SD 0.35 and 71 cases myopia cor-rection SE -3,75 Dsph SD 0.15. The first postoperative months small fluctuation of distant and near vision was present in 38% of patients. After 6 months’ stabiliza-tion was achieved in 90% of cases. Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) was some to preoperative best corrected visual acuity (bCVA). 8 % patients have reoperation and one year after treatment 100% of patients were satisfied to see well without glasses at all distances.Keywords: presbyopia; refractive surgery; femtosecond laser; laser in situ ker-atomileusis.
