In recent years, the all-in-one femtosecond laser technology, one of the latest ophthalmic developments, has shown a tendency for rapid expansion in ophthalmology and has drawn extensive attention from ophthalmologists. The small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) procedure is the representative surgery of the all-in-one femtosecond laser technology and has advanced corneal refractive surgery into an era of microinvasive and flapless techniques. This article reviews the generation and significance of all-in-one femtosecond laser technology and the clinical applications, potential superiority and advancements of the SMILE procedure.
