SMILE - LASIK
SMILE - LASIK is quick, painless, and highly effective. This advanced procedure uses a femtosecond laser to create a small (3.9 mm) precise incision in the cornea, which allows for the correction of nearsightedness and astigmatism.- Laser creates a very small incision: 4 mm or less
- Small piece of tissue is removed
- Minimal disruption to cornea nerves
- Laser time 25 sec
- Minimal downtime
- Least amount of dry eyes and halos
- Best patient experience
- Excellent outcome
Compared to traditional LASIK, SMILE LASIK is less invasive, requires a smaller incision, and has a faster recovery time. Most patients experience improved vision within just a few hours of the procedure and can return to normal activities the following day.

Why is SMILE better than traditional LASIK?
Traditional Custom Cornea LAISK
Creating a corneal flap which cuts through a significant amount of the corneal nerve network (20mm flap). This can result in dry eyes and discomfort for a period of time.
SMILE creates a more precise incision results in significantly less disruption to the corneal nerve network, with less than 4 mm being cut.
- Patients who choose SMILE are more likely to experience:
- Less dry eyes
- Greater comfort after the surgery.
- Typically shorter recovery time
Custom Cornea LASIK uses advanced wavefront technology to create a personalized treatment plan.
Custom Cornea LASIK uses a precision laser (bladeless) to create a custom flap and reshape the cornea. This allows for greater visual acuity and reduced reliance on glasses or contacts. The wavefront technology used in this procedure is capable of detecting even the slightest irregularities in your cornea, resulting in more accurate and precise correction.
The benefits of Custom Cornea LASIK include better visual outcomes, reduced glare and halos, and improved night vision. Additionally, the procedure is minimally invasive, has a quick recovery time, and is virtually painless.
- Custom Cornea LASIK (more advanced procedure)
- Flap is created and folded back (20 mm)
- Laser 45 sec to 1 min
- Flap is placed back for natural healing
- Treatment standard over 20 years
PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) is a type of laser eye surgery used to correct myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. During the PRK , the the upper layer of the cornea is removed, allowing the laser to reshape the cornea.
The recovery time for PRK is usually longer than that for other types of laser eye surgery such as LASIK, but is a better option for people with thin corneas or other corneal issues that make LASIK unsuitable.
- No flap, upper layer of cornea is removed
- Laser sculpts the cornea within seconds 45 sec to 1 min
- Protective bandage lens helps for natural healing (1 week)
- Better option for patients with thin corneas
ICL- Inner Collamer Lens
High glasses or contact lens prescriptions- Approved from -3.00 to -20.00
- Patients with thin corneas
- Patients with dry eyes
- Age 22-45
The ICL is a state-of-the-art implantable lens that offers a superior alternative to traditional contact lenses or glasses, especially for patients with high prescriptions. The ICL is made from a biocompatible, soft, and flexible material that is designed to be implanted inside your eye. Unlike traditional contact lenses, the ICL is a permanent solution that requires no daily maintenance or cleaning.
Not only does the ICL offer convenience, but it also provides outstanding visual clarity. The ICL is designed to correct a wide range of prescriptions including myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.
The ICL Inner Collamer Lens is a game-changer for those who are outside the technology of LAISK or PRK. With its unmatched comfort, convenience, and visual clarity, the ICL is the perfect solution for anyone looking to improve their quality of life.
