Abstract: The rising incidence of myopia is a major global public-health problem. Small incision lenticule extraction(SMILE)is widely accepted by refractive experts and patients, owing to its advantages, such as its flap-free nature, requirement for a small incision, good safety, effectiveness, and predictability. However, SMILE surgery requires corneal micro-surgical skills, and the learning curve is relatively steep. Thus, surgical skills required for SMILE as well as the prevention and management of complications associated with SMILE will be discussed in this article.

Key words: Small incision lenticule extraction, Surgical skills, Complications
