SMILE Pro Surgery Recovery Time

SMILE Pro eye surgery offers a quick recovery time – complete visual recovery in just 24 hours!

SMILE Pro is one of the most advanced laser specs removal surgeries in the field of vision correction. This AI-based robotic surgery is the preferred choice of many due to the multiple benefits it comes with. One such benefit is the short recovery time.

Thanks to its advanced features, SMILE Pro helps you heal faster than most of its counterparts, standing out as the top choice for working professionals, students, and travellers.

In this blog, we are going to discuss SMILE Pro eye surgery, its recovery time, and the features that make a smooth and fast recovery possible.

What is SMILE Pro eye surgery?

SMILE Pro is the world’s first AI+robotic vision correction surgery. The surgery takes only 9 seconds (per eye) to reshape your cornea (the clear, outer layer of the eye) and give you crystal clear, specs-free vision. The surgery involves the creation of a lens-shaped disc on the cornea, known as a lenticule. Then, through a small side incision (2 – 4 mm), the lenticule is extracted to reshape the cornea.

These steps are performed through a femtosecond laser, completely eliminating the need for a mechanical blade. According to Zeiss1^1, SMILE Pro’s manufacturer, a significant number of patients report that they resumed regular activities the very next day after surgery.

Let’s understand what makes a quick recovery possible.

SMILE Pro Surgery Recovery

The SMILE Pro recovery time is a major USP when it comes to what makes the procedure stand apart from other available laser eye technologies. Here’s a detailed look at why its features contribute to a faster recovery. 

Flapless Procedure

The entire SMILE Pro surgery is performed without ever creating a flap. A lenticule is created with the help of a femtosecond laser, and then a tiny incision is made on the side for lenticule extraction. Since there is no flap, it implies the surgery involves very little disruption to the surface of the eye. Minimal disruption points to enhanced preservation of the cornea’s structural integrity. Consequently, the surgery requires minimal healing time.

Additionally, the surgery also comes with a reduced risk of flap-related post-operative complications. Since there is no flap, the recipient is unlikely to experience flap-induced side effects such as dry eyes, halos, or glare, etc. Reduced side effects after the surgery lead to a quicker visual recovery.

9-Second Laser Time

A 9-second laser time for vision correction was a breakthrough advancement in the field. Because of the minimal laser exposure, the surgery effectively reshapes the cornea without too much collateral tissue damage. 

And, when there is less tissue damage, your eye will heal faster.

Bladeless Surgery

Another huge plus point of SMILE Pro is that it does not use a mechanical blade, unlike many other conventional LASIK/laser surgeries. Since the blade is replaced by a femtosecond laser, the incision is highly precise, completely eliminating any scope for human error. Precise incisions lead to faster natural healing.

If you follow your doctor’s prescribed eye drop routine, recovery tips, and list of things to avoid immediately after the surgery, you will undoubtedly experience a smooth, quick, and hassle-free recovery.

We hope this blog helped you get a better understanding of why SMILE Pro comes with a quick recovery time. If you or anyone you know is considering getting a specs removal surgery, pick one with minimal recovery time and ensure a faster return to normal activities.
