SMILE

SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) is a next-generation, blade-free and flap-free laser vision correction procedure. Using a single femtosecond laser, a thin lens-shaped piece of tissue (lenticule) is created within the cornea and removed through a tiny 2-4mm incision - reshaping the cornea with minimal disruption to the corneal surface. It's one of the most advanced options for active individuals who want a fast recovery with less dependence on glasses or contact lenses.

• People aged 18+ with stable vision for at least 1 year
• Myopia (nearsightedness) up to -10 diopters
• Astigmatism up to 5 diopters
• Those with mild to moderate dry eyes or thinner corneas not ideal for LASIK
• Athletes, defense personnel, and anyone wanting a flap-free, minimally invasive option

• Comprehensive eye examination
• Corneal topography to map the corneal surface
• Pachymetry to measure corneal thickness
• Wavefront and tear film analysis
• Pupil size measurement in different lighting conditions

• Single femtosecond laser creates a precise lenticule within the cornea
• Lenticule is removed through a tiny 2-4mm keyhole incision
• No corneal flap is created, preserving greater corneal strength
• Procedure takes about 20-25 seconds of actual laser time per eye
• Most patients notice clear vision within a day or two
