SMILE Pro or Small Incision Lenticule Extraction Pro is suitable for individuals with high myopia (nearsightedness) or specs power.┬а
This advanced technology is a promising solution for people who have been wearing specs since their childhood and now finally want permanent freedom from their specs and vision problems.
SMILE pro is the worldтАЩs 1st AI+robotic laser vision correction procedure that provides the best visual quality with next to no side effects, low risk of complications, and minimal downtime. Not to mention the surgery takes just 9 seconds (per eye)!
What Specs Number Can SMILE Pro Correct?
SMILE Pro corrects high myopia up to -10.00 D and astigmatism (cylindrical power) up to -5.00 D (via Zeiss). The procedure is ideal for individuals who want a minimally invasive vision correction treatment.
What is High Myopia?
High myopia refers to high eye power or a severe form of refractive error (nearsightedness). Distant objects in high myopia appear blurry while close vision remains clear. Myopia is considered тАЬhighтАЭ when it exceeds -6 D.
Many individuals live with thick glasses for years before finally deciding to opt for a permanent solution that corrects their refractive errors. This is where SMILE Pro comes in.
What is SMILE Pro?
SMILE Pro is a minimally invasive (no flap) laser vision correction procedure. Integrated with AI and robotic technology, the procedure reshapes the cornea with a laser time of just 9 seconds per eye!
The surgery begins with administering numbing eye drops. After this, a femtosecond laser is used to create a disc inside the cornea. The disc is extracted with the help of a tiny side incision (2-4mm), resulting in a reshaped cornea. Subsequently, the result is corrected refractive errors and crystal clear vision!
SMILE Pro for High Myopia
High myopia needs substantial reshaping of the cornea for precise vision correction, and not all specs removal procedures are equipped to correct the extreme curvature of a high myopic eye. SMILE Pro stands out because it offers an advanced solution to effectively correct vision, even after years of wearing a high specs number.
Thin corneas are very common among people with high nearsightedness. Most individuals do not meet the eligibility criteria for conventional LASIK, as it involves creating a flap on the cornea. Thin corneas cannot handle flap creation and the tissue damage that comes with it.
This is why SMILE ProтАЩs flapless approach is ideal for individuals with thin corneas. The surgery does not create a flap and causes minimal disruption to the corneal tissue.
