What is SMILE PRO?
Understanding About
SMILE PRO
SMILE PRO is the next evolution in refractive eye surgery. It is an advanced laser eye surgery technique developed to correct common vision problems like myopia (nearsightedness) and astigmatism. Building on the original SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) procedure, SMILE PRO uses innovative laser technology to make the process even more precise and efficient.
During the surgery, a tiny piece of tissue called lenticule, is created within the cornea and removed through a small incision. This reshapes the cornea, improving vision. SMILE PRO offers a minimally invasive option with faster recovery, reduced discomfort, and excellent visual outcomes, helping patients achieve clear vision without glasses or contact lenses.
SMILE PRO represents the forefront of vision correction, offering a streamlined procedure that combines cutting-edge technology with a patient-centred approach, making it an ideal choice for those seeking long-lasting visual clarity.
