That\u2019s not what recovery after the world\u2019s 1st-ever AI+robotic vision correction looks like.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For some context, let us explain just how advanced this procedure is. The surgery begins with <strong>numbing eye drops<\/strong> being administered so you do not feel any pain. Next, a <strong>femtosecond laser<\/strong> creates a <strong>lenticule<\/strong>, which is a lens-shaped disc, within the cornea. Then a <strong>tiny side incision<\/strong> of roughly 2-4 mm is created through which the lenticule is extracted. This results in corneal reshaping and, consequently, <strong>clear vision<\/strong>. No flap, no stitches, no big cuts &#8211; this is exactly why the procedure offers a seamless and quick return to normal life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because the collateral damage to the corneal tissue is so minimal, most individuals who undergo SMILE Pro notice a relatively faster visual recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You must\u2019ve often heard doctors saying you need to \u201crest\u201d your eyes after specs removal surgery &#8211; but that doesn\u2019t point to literal \u2018bed rest\u2019. What it really means is giving your eyes a break from digital screens as your cornea heals after the procedure. On the day of your surgery, you may be advised to go home and take a nap for a few hours &#8211; this isn\u2019t because the doctor wants you to stay horizontal at all times; it\u2019s just to promote a more comfortable healing process, as closed eyes and ample sleep will allow the cornea to start healing in an undisturbed environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the corneal flap has been replaced by just a small side incision in SMILE Pro, the eye\u2019s surface remains (mostly) intact, resulting in a faster and smoother healing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-4_Weeks_After_SMILE_Pro\"><\/span>1-4 Weeks After SMILE Pro<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s have a look at what your first week after laser eye surgery will look like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><strong>DAY<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>ACTIVITY LEVELS<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><strong>Day of the surgery<\/strong><\/td><td>Napping and resting your eyes (closed) for several hours.

Your eyes simply need a few hours&#8217; break from screens, followed by some precautions in the following weeks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you or someone you know wishes to undergo <strong>specs removal surgery in Chandigarh<\/strong>, Sohana Hospital, Mohali, is the best destination for all your needs.
