Most refractive errors (vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism) develop due to changes in the eye shape (the clear, outermost layer of the eye).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This irregular corneal shape prohibits light from focusing accurately on the retina, causing unclear vision. LASIK\/laser surgery reshapes the cornea permanently with the help of a highly precise laser. The reshaping of the cornea allows light to enter the eye and focus on the retina properly, thus resulting in perfectly clear vision. Both SMILE and Wavelight Plus InnovEyes serve the same purpose, but differ in their methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_SMILE_Eye_Surgery\"><\/span>What is SMILE Eye Surgery?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SMILE <\/strong>or <strong>Small Incision Lenticule Extraction<\/strong> is an advanced, minimally invasive laser specs removal procedure. Unlike LASIK technologies, SMILE corrects refractive errors without the need to create a corneal flap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_SMILE_works\"><\/span>How SMILE works:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Lenticule Creation:<\/strong> The very first step after administering numbing eye drops is to create a disc-like lenticule in the cornea. This is done through femtosecond laser pulses.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tiny side incision:<\/strong> Then, a tiny side incision is created using the femtosecond laser again. The incision is about 4 mm.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lenticule extraction:<\/strong> The lenticule is then extracted through the incision. This reshapes the cornea, thereby correcting your refractive error.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The outer layers of the cornea remain intact and untouched for the most part, resulting in a much faster recovery time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f2c7d2\"><strong>\ud83d\udc49Also read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/smile-pro-silk-or-standard-lasik-which-is-best-for-you\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SMILE Pro vs SILK vs Standard LASIK: Which Vision Correction is Best for You?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Wavelight_Plus_InnovEyes_Eye_Surgery\"><\/span>What is Wavelight Plus InnovEyes Eye Surgery?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Wavelight Plus InnovEyes is the 1st of its kind AI+ray-tracing specs removal LASIK. This fully personalised treatment maps over 1,00,000 data points on the eye for precise optical measurements. Then, a <strong>Digital Eye Twin<\/strong> (a virtual model of your eye) is created, which helps in determining the best treatment plan fitted to your unique optical measurements and requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Wavelight_Plus_InnovEyes_Works\"><\/span>How Wavelight Plus InnovEyes Works:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Corneal flap:<\/strong> After a personalised treatment plan has been determined for each eye (Yes! Even the treatment for your own two eyes differs owing to their unique measurements), the first step is to create a hinged corneal flap using a femtosecond laser. This flap is flipped to one side to expose the corneal tissue.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Corneal reshaping:<\/strong> The next step involves reshaping the cornea using the Alcon WaveLight EX500 excimer laser machine. Your cornea is reshaped according to the virtual eye model, thus correcting your refractive error.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Flap repositioning:<\/strong> Once the cornea has been successfully reshaped, the hinged flap is placed back in its original position. The surgery does not require any stitches. The corneal tissue regenerates, and the thin flap heals on its own.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This procedure gives exceptional visual quality within 24-48 hours. Most patients report 6\/6 or better vision 1 week post-op.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A study by Alcon <sup><a href=\"#reference-source\">[1]<\/a><\/sup> (manufacturer) states that 98% individuals who undergo the surgery report 6\/6 vision, 83% report 6\/5 vision, and 45% report 6\/4 HD vision!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f2c7d2\"><strong>\ud83d\udc49Also read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/long-term-benefits-of-wavelight-plus-innoveyes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Long-Term Benefits of Wavelight Plus InnovEyes<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Difference_Between_Wavelight_Plus_InnovEyes_and_SMILE\"><\/span>The Difference Between Wavelight Plus InnovEyes and SMILE<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a concise look at the difference between Wavelight Plus InnovEyes and SMILE:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>DIFFERENCE<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>WAVELIGHT PLUS INNOVEYES<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>SMILE<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Flap&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Yes&nbsp;<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">No&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Incision size<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Circular flap (approx. 10 mm)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Tiny side incision (approx. 4 mm)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Laser used<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Femtosecond &amp; excimer&nbsp;<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Femtosecond&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Correctable refractive errors<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Myopia &amp; astigmatism (including higher order aberrations)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Myopia &amp; astigmatism<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Post-op corneal strength<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Slightly weak due to flap creation<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Largely intact due to minimal tissue disruption<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Dry eye risk<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Slightly higher<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Very low<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Recovery time<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Quick &#8211; 24 hours<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">24-48 hours<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Both procedures come with their advantages and drawbacks.
