ABOUT THE SMILE PROCEDURE
SMILE is an advanced laser vision correction technique that corrects refractive errors through a small corneal incision, without creating a large corneal flap.
During the procedure, the laser creates a precisely calculated lenticule inside the cornea. The surgeon then removes this lenticule through a small incision, reshaping the cornea and correcting the patient's refractive error.
The procedure is performed on both eyes during the same treatment session.
KEY ADVANTAGES OF SMILE
Minimally invasive laser eye surgery
No conventional corneal flap
Small corneal incision
Suitable for selected patients with myopia and astigmatism
Short procedure time
Generally rapid visual recovery
Reduced dependence on glasses or contact lenses
Comfortable outpatient treatment
No overnight hospitalization required
YOUR TREATMENT JOURNEY
1. PRE-OPERATIVE EYE EXAMINATION
Your ophthalmologist will perform a detailed eye examination and the necessary diagnostic measurements to determine whether SMILE is appropriate for your eyes.
2. PERSONALIZED TREATMENT PLANNING
Your examination results are carefully evaluated and the laser treatment is planned according to your individual eye measurements and refractive error.
3. SMILE LASER TREATMENT – BOTH EYES
The procedure is performed using advanced laser technology under the supervision of an experienced ophthalmologist. Treatment is performed on both eyes during the same session.
4. POST-OPERATIVE CHECK-UP
After the procedure, your eyes are examined by the ophthalmologist to monitor the initial recovery and ensure that everything is progressing as expected.
5. FOLLOW-UP CARE
You will receive detailed post-operative instructions and follow-up guidance. Further examinations may be scheduled according to your individual recovery and your doctor's recommendations.
HOSPITAL STAY
No hospitalization required.
SMILE is an outpatient procedure, allowing you to return to your accommodation after the necessary post-operative examination and medical clearance.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The final suitability for SMILE treatment is determined only after a comprehensive ophthalmological examination. Not every patient is a candidate for SMILE, and the appropriate laser vision correction technique depends on individual eye anatomy, corneal parameters, refractive error and overall eye health.
Treatment is performed for both eyes.
