    What is SMILE Eye Surgery?

    SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) is the latest and most advanced advancement in laser vision correction. While PRK was the 1st generation and LASIK the 2nd, SMILE represents the 3rd generation of refractive surgery.

    Unlike traditional LASIK, which requires creating a corneal flap, SMILE is a 100% flapless and minimally invasive procedure. Using state-of-the-art femtosecond laser technology, our surgeons create a tiny, precise lens-shaped tissue (lenticule) inside the cornea. This is gently removed through a microscopic 2mm incision, reshaping the eye and correcting your vision almost instantly.

    For patients looking to remove their glasses permanently with maximum safety and minimal discomfort, SMILE is the ultimate solution.

    The Key Benefits of SMILE Over Traditional LASIK

    SMILE offers unique advantages that make it the preferred choice for athletes, professionals, and anyone seeking a fast recovery:

    No Flap Complications: Since no corneal flap is created, there is zero risk of flap displacement, making it ideal for sports enthusiasts and active individuals.

    Less Dry Eyes: SMILE preserves the superficial corneal nerves, significantly reducing the chances of post-surgery dry eye syndrome compared to LASIK.

    Minimally Invasive: The incision is 80% smaller than that of LASIK (just 2mm vs. 20mm), maintaining the natural biomechanical strength of your cornea.

    Painless & Quick: The laser is active for less than 30 seconds per eye, and the entire procedure is entirely painless.

    Rapid Visual Recovery: Most patients notice a dramatic improvement in their vision within a few hours and can return to their normal routines within 1-2 days.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Does SMILE surgery hurt?
    No. The procedure is virtually painless. We use anesthetic eye drops to numb your eyes completely before starting. You may feel a slight pressure, but no sharp pain.
    How soon can I use my phone or laptop after SMILE?
    Most patients can resume light screen time the very next day. However, we recommend taking frequent screen breaks and using prescribed lubricating drops during the first week.
    Is SMILE safer than LASIK?
    Both are extremely safe and FDA-approved. However, SMILE offers better biomechanical stability for the eye and has a lower risk of dry eyes because it is a flapless procedure.
    Are the results permanent?
    Yes, the reshaping of the cornea during SMILE surgery is permanent.
    How much time does the SMILE procedure take?
    The actual laser treatment takes less than 30 seconds per eye. You will only be in the operation theater for about 10 to 15 minutes. It is a quick, walk-in and walk-out procedure, and you can go home immediately after it is done.
    Can SMILE surgery correct cylindrical power (astigmatism)?
    Yes, absolutely. SMILE is highly effective and incredibly precise in correcting both spherical power (nearsightedness) and cylindrical power (astigmatism). During your pre-surgery evaluation, our doctors will map your cornea to ensure you get the best possible result.
