SMILE

• SMILE is an advanced surgery for enhancing vision
  and is less invasive as compared to LASIK. It is
  a one-step procedure and provides enhanced and
  clear vision.

What is the procedure of SMILE surgery?

• SMILE, also known as Small Incision Lenticule
  Extraction which is significantly less invasive
  than LASIK surgery but provides the results like
  this surgery. Through a focused, computer-guided
  LASER, the surgeon makes a small incision on the
  cornea. With the help of this incision, a small
  corneal tissue is removed which results in
  reshaping of the cornea. With the help of
  highly-focused light, the surgery is done with
  high precision.
• The procedure ends within a minute and the
  patient starts feeling better within 24 hours
  after surgery.

What are the benefits of SMILE?

• Minimally Invasive Procedure
• As compared to PRK and LASIK surgery, the SMILE
  is less invasive. During the LASIK surgery, a
  corneal flap of 20 mm is created while in PRK, an
  incision of 8-mm is created. In the SMILE, the
  vision is corrected by creating only a 3 mm
  incision.
• No formation of flap
• Although LASIK surgery is a highly safe procedure
  complication may arise in a few patients because
  of the flap creation. SMILE does not cause flap
  formation and thus, is safer, as compared to
  LASIK.

• Odorless Procedure
• Due to the corneal ablations in LASIK surgery
  through excimer laser, the patient may smell an
  odor. As SMILE does not use an excimer laser, the
  procedure is completely free from the odor.
• Fast recovery
• As the SMILE procedure is minimally invasive, the
  patient may recover fast and the vision is
  enhanced within a day after surgery. The results
  of the SMILE procedure are like that of LASIK
  surgery.
• Fewer complications
• The patients undergoing SMILE procedure have
  fewer chances of complications as compared to
  LASIK surgery. There is less risk of halos or
  glare complications and have less incidence of
  dry eye syndrome.

Who are good candidates for the SMILE procedure?

• SMILE procedure is effective in those patients
  who do not meet the criteria for LASIK surgery.
  These candidates include patients with a thin
  cornea, suffering from dry eye syndrome, and are
  involved in contact sports.

What is the difference between LASIK and SMILE?
Both procedures are used to correct the eye
vision and to remove the spectacles and contact
lenses. However, SMILE is safer as compared to
LASIK surgery. The recovery period in the SMILE
procedure is also less as compared to LASIK.
SMILE surgery is less invasive and there is no
creation of a flap in SMILE procedure.
