    What is SMILE Eye Surgery?

    SMILE is a bladeless laser vision correction procedure that reshapes the cornea through a microscopic incision. During the treatment, a precise femtosecond laser creates a thin lens-shaped tissue (lenticule) inside the cornea, which is then removed through a small opening. This changes the cornea’s shape and improves the way light focuses on the retina, providing clearer vision.

    The entire laser procedure is typically completed within minutes, allowing most patients to return home shortly afterwards.

    Why Choose SMILE?

    Minimal Invasive

    Tiny incision means less disturbance to the corneal surface and a more comfortable recovery.

    Flap-Free Technology

    Unlike traditional LASIK, SMILE does not require creating a corneal flap.

    Faster Visual Recovery

    Many patients notice significant vision improvement within the first 24 hours.

    Reduced Dry Eye Symptoms

    By preserving more corneal nerves, SMILE may lower the likelihood of dry eye.

    High Precision

    Advanced laser technology provides exceptional accuracy.

    Confortable treatment

    The procedure is quick, gentle and performed using anaesthetic eye drops.

    Who Can Benefit from SMILE Eye Surgery

    SMILE eye surgery is suitable for selected refractive vision conditions after a comprehensive eye examination.

    Near-Sightedness
    (Myopia)

    SMILE effectively corrects myopia, helping you see distant objects more clearly while reducing dependence on glasses or contact lenses.

    Myopia with
    Astigmatism

    SMILE can also correct suitable cases of myopia with astigmatism, providing sharper and more comfortable vision.

    SMILE Eligibility Assessment

    A comprehensive eye examination helps determine whether your eyes are suitable for SMILE laser vision correction.

    Recovery After SMILE Surgery

    Is SMILE Right for You?

    SMILE may be suitable for adults with stable vision who wish to reduce or eliminate their dependence on glasses or contact lenses. Eligibility depends on several factors, including your eye power, corneal thickness, overall eye health, and lifestyle.

    A comprehensive eye examination is essential to determine whether SMILE is the right vision correction procedure for you.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    Frequently Asked Questions

    1. Is SMILE eye surgery painful?
    SMILE eye surgery is generally not painful. Anaesthetic eye drops are used before the procedure to numb the eye, and most patients experience only mild pressure during treatment. Some temporary irritation or watering may occur afterwards but usually settles within a short period.
    2. How long do the results of SMILE surgery last?
    The vision correction achieved through SMILE is intended to be permanent because the cornea is permanently reshaped. However, natural age-related changes, such as presbyopia or cataracts, can still affect vision later in life.
    3. Can both eyes be treated on the same day?
    Yes. In most cases, both eyes are treated during the same appointment, making the process more convenient and allowing recovery to begin immediately.
    4. When can I drive after SMILE surgery?
    Many patients are able to drive within one or two days after surgery, provided their vision meets the legal driving standard and their ophthalmologist confirms it is safe to do so.
    5. Can I wear contact lenses before my SMILE consultation?
    Contact lenses should usually be discontinued before the pre-operative assessment, as they can temporarily alter the shape of the cornea. Your ophthalmologist will advise how many days to stop wearing them based on the type of lenses you use.
    6. Will I still need glasses after SMILE surgery?
    Most patients achieve significantly reduced dependence on glasses or contact lenses. However, some people may still require glasses for specific tasks or later in life due to natural ageing of the eyes.
