This means the technology has undergone a series of tests to ascertain that it meets global standards of safety. Additionally, thanks to a clinical study<sup><a href=\"#reference-source\">1<\/a><\/sup>, there is evidence that the surgery is a completely safe procedure, owing to its exceptional outcomes and no side effects or post-op complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myth_2_SMILE_Pro_is_not_as_advanced_as_LASIK\"><\/span>Myth #2: <em>SMILE Pro is not as advanced as LASIK<\/em><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>False! SMILE Pro is equally, if not more, advanced than LASIK. Both technologies come with their own sets of advantages. The advanced laser eye surgery stands as a worthy alternative to conventional LASIK. It is an AI+robotic technology that completely eliminates the need for the creation of a corneal flap; the surgery\u2019s laser time is just 9 seconds (per eye), and it offers a much faster recovery than traditional LASIK &#8211; some may even argue SMILE Pro is more advanced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myth_3_SMILE_Pro_Eye_Surgery_is_Painful\"><\/span>Myth #3: <em>SMILE Pro Eye Surgery is Painful<\/em><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The truth is, SMILE Pro is a completely painless procedure. Your surgeon will administer topical anaesthetic eye drops to numb your eyes before the actual surgery begins. Additionally, the minimal laser time provides the added benefit of minimal post-op discomfort &amp; pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myth_4_SMILE_Pro_Causes_More_Tissue_Damage\"><\/span>Myth #4:<em> SMILE Pro Causes More Tissue Damage<\/em><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We understand why many people may have this misconception &#8211; it\u2019s not too far-fetched to assume that SMILE Pro does in 9 seconds what other technologies do in 10-15 minutes. So, it might be using a high-intensity laser, thus causing more tissue damage. However, it\u2019s just an assumption, not the truth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In reality, this advanced procedure doesn\u2019t even create a corneal flap &#8211; that alone cuts down the degree of collateral tissue damage.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, since the technology minimises the duration of laser energy exposure for the eye, there is significantly less corneal tissue damage. This not only results in a fast and comfortable surgery, but also a quicker recovery than most other procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myth_5_SMILE_Pro_Cant_Correct_Astigmatism\"><\/span>Myth #5: <em>SMILE Pro Can\u2019t Correct Astigmatism<\/em><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Incorrect! The technology is approved by the US-FDA to correct <a href=\"https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/myopia-nearsightedness-risks-causes-and-prevention\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">myopia <\/a>(up to -10 D) and myopic <a href=\"https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/cylindrical-eye-power-symptoms-causes-and-treatment-options\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">astigmatism <\/a>(up to -5 D). If you have astigmatism (mild to moderate), you may be a good candidate for the surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myth_6_SMILE_Pro_Recovery_is_Long\"><\/span>Myth #6: <em>SMILE Pro Recovery is Long\u00a0<\/em><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not true at all. According to Zeiss, the <a href=\"https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/smile-pro-surgery-recovery-time\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SMILE Pro recovery time<\/a> for most patients is within 24 hours<sup><a href=\"#reference-source\">2<\/a><\/sup>! While individual recovery timelines vary, patients generally report clear vision in just a few hours after surgery, with reduced discomfort and enhanced vision quality within 1-2 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rest assured, SMILE Pro eye surgery is among the safest, least invasive, and painless specs removal surgeries available in the market. As long as you meet the eligibility criteria, you are all set to achieve your dream vision in just 9 seconds!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we\u2019ve managed to do a good job of debunking some of these misconceptions for you, now may be the perfect time to take a step forward in your specs removal journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visit Sohana Hospital for expert consultations from highly skilled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sohanaeyehospital.com\/our-doctors\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LASIK doctors in Mohali<\/a>.

Is SMILE Pro eye surgery better than LASIK?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a much more advanced technology than conventional LASIK. This advanced technology does not create a corneal flap, is minimally invasive, comes with a reduced risk of post-op complications like dry eyes, halos, glare, and is performed in just 9 seconds!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Does_SMILE_Pro_correct_astigmatism\"><\/span>2. Does SMILE Pro correct astigmatism?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. The surgery has US-FDA approval to correct refractive errors like myopia (up to -10 D) and myopic astigmatism (up to -5 D).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Are_SMILE_Pro_results_permanent\"><\/span>3. Are SMILE Pro results permanent?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. The surgery offers long-lasting results and visual stability. But it is important to note that ageing can still have an impact on your vision with the development of other eye conditions, such as presbyopia and cataracts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_How_long_does_SMILE_Pro_eye_surgery_take\"><\/span>4. How long does SMILE Pro eye surgery take?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The complete procedure takes about 10-15 minutes, but the actual laser time in this laser eye surgery is just 9 seconds (per eye). After the surgery, you might be required to stay at the hospital for 30-45 minutes for post-op monitoring. After that, you are free to go home and enjoy your newfound vision clarity!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_When_can_I_return_to_work\"><\/span>5. When can I return to work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you get this laser eye surgery, you can return to work as early as the next day! The advanced surgery offers an exceptionally quick recovery time &#8211; most patients report complete visual clarity within 24 hours of the procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"reference-source\"><strong>Reference Sources:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s10792-024-02915-2#rightslink:~:text=The%20SMILE%20Pro%C2%AE%20is%20a%20safe%2C%20efficient%2C%20and%20predictable%20procedure%20for%20the%20treatment%20of%20myopia%20and%20myopic%20astigmatism%2C%20with%20comparable%20results%20of%20conventional%20SMILE%20surgery.%20High%20myopic%20eyes%20achieve%20better%20results%20than%20low%20and%20moderate%20myopia.%20No%20complications%20were%20recorded%20in%20our%20patients.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s10792-024-02915-2#rightslink:~:text=The%20SMILE%20Pro%C2%AE%20is%20a%20safe%2C%20efficient%2C%20and%20predictable%20procedure%20for%20the%20treatment%20of%20myopia%20and%20myopic%20astigmatism%2C%20with%20comparable%20results%20of%20conventional%20SMILE%20surgery.%20High%20myopic%20eyes%20achieve%20better%20results%20than%20low%20and%20moderate%20myopia.%20No%20complications%20were%20recorded%20in%20our%20patients.<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zeiss.com\/vision-care\/en\/eye-surgery\/vision-correction-surgery\/smile-pro-laser-eye-surgery\/procedure.html#:~:text=Patients%20recover%20well%20and%20may%20return%20to%20their%20daily%20activities%20the%20day%20after%20the%20treatment.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.zeiss.com\/vision-care\/en\/eye-surgery\/vision-correction-surgery\/smile-pro-laser-eye-surgery\/procedure.html#:~:text=Patients%20recover%20well%20and%20may%20return%20to%20their%20daily%20activities%20the%20day%20after%20the%20treatment.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SMILE Pro eye surgery is one of the most advanced specs removal technologies currently available.
