To help you get to know SMILE, we’d like to share 10 reasons you should consider SMILE to improve your vision.

SMILE can correct your vision. SMILE gives you corrected vision without the hassle of glasses or contacts.

SMILE has been successfully performed around the globe for many years. SMILE was developed by ZEISS, a company known for 170 years of optical innovation. More than 2,000,000 SMILES have been performed worldwide.

SMILE is gentle and minimally invasive. SMILE is a highly precise procedure. A tiny laser opening and lack of corneal cutting creates little disturbance to the eye, helping you recover quickly with predictable visual outcomes.

SMILE is a simple and fast procedure. During a SMILE procedure, the latest in laser technology is used to gently create a thin, contact lens-shaped layer just beneath the surface of the eye, which is removed through a small opening. In this way, SMILE reshapes the surface of your eye and sharpens your vision, correcting the refractive error. SMILE is a gentle and highly precise procedure lasting only a few minutes, with the laser only active for about 30 seconds on average.

Rapid visual recovery after your SMILE. While visual recovery is ever so slightly behind that of LASIK, people often return to most of their daily activities the day after their SMILE procedure. Full visual recovery is comparable to that of LASIK1.

SMILE promotes eye strength and stability. Potential for flap dislocation or detachment isn’t a factor with SMILE because the procedure is minimally invasive.

Surgical results are consistent and predictable with SMILE. The visual outcome is highly predictable. More than 2,000,000 SMILEs have been performed worldwide, and the results have been amazing!

SMILE is a procedure with minimal risk. Cases of dry eye, disturbed nerves and infection as a result of laser vision correction are very low with SMILE2.

SMILE is a noiseless, odorless procedure. SMILE is minimally invasive and is one of the gentler, more comfortable forms of laser vision correction.

The SMILE procedure offers quick healing time. Patients are able to resume most normal daily activities within 24 hours, including driving, showering, applying makeup and going to work.
