SMILE suitability criteria

Most adults with stable vision prescriptions meet the requirements for SMILE laser eye surgery — in fact, because SMILE is so gentle on the eye, many patients qualify for it who wouldn’t qualify for other eye surgeries!

This treatment works well for people who have a hard time seeing things far away (known as myopia). It’s good for people with or without astigmatism, which is when the eye has a special shape that blurs vision.

SMILE is one of the most advanced LASIK alternatives on the market today — it’s minimally invasive, meaning a quicker and easier recovery!

During SMILE, we use an extremely precise laser to create a tiny disc of tissue in the cornea. This disc is then removed through a tiny microincision to painlessly reshape the eye and correct the problems causing your vision issues.

SMILE is FDA Approved to correct mild to severe nearsightedness (plus some astigmatism if necessary) making it an excellent option even for patients who have been told that LASIK or PRK won’t be a good fit for them.

SMILE eye surgery uses the ZEISS VisuMax® femtosecond laser, a medical technology we’ve come to love. It’s efficient, unbelievably precise, and can make even the tiniest adjustments in real time to ensure that your SMILE laser eye surgery is perfectly adapted to your unique vision correction needs.

Due to the minimally invasive process, SMILE can be completed quicker and with less interaction with the eye than similar procedures. This makes it a great fit for patients with sensitive eyes, or anyone looking for the fastest possible recovery!

Perhaps most importantly, SMILE eye surgery has nearly identical success rates to LASIK and related surgeries. And, if you’re concerned about potential side effects like dry eye after surgery, SMILE carries a lower risk than other vision correction procedures.

SMILE is a safe and effective way to improve your vision. It’s gentler on your eyes than some other procedures, which means there’s a lower chance of complications. However, as with any treatment, there are some rare side effects. Here’s what to know:

  • Night vision might be a little challenging for a short time.
    Small particles may appear in the eye but typically clear up on their own.
  • There’s a small risk of infection, but we maintain a sterile environment to prevent this.
    Mild redness or swelling might occur, but it usually subsides quickly.
  • Vision may be slightly cloudy at first, but this often clears up.
  • Temporary double vision is possible, though it should improve soon.
  • Some dryness is common, and we provide drops to relieve this.
  • The first treatment may not fully correct your vision, but adjustments can be made if needed.
  • Rarely, the front of the eye might bulge slightly, though this is uncommon.
  • Severe vision loss is extremely rare, but as with any eye procedure, it’s a potential risk.

We take every precaution to ensure your treatment is safe and provides lasting vision improvement.

For those considering vision correction, alternatives to SMILE include LASIK and PRK.

LASIK is a popular procedure that uses a precise laser to create a thin flap on the cornea, allowing for fast vision improvement and quick recovery. However, it may not be suitable for those with thinner corneas.

PRK, or Photorefractive Keratectomy, doesn’t require a flap; instead, the outer layer of the cornea is gently removed, making it ideal for individuals with thinner corneas. PRK has a slightly longer recovery time than LASIK or SMILE, but it offers excellent results. Each option offers unique benefits based on individual needs.

Step 1: First, we apply specialized numbing drops to ensure complete comfort throughout the procedure. Once the anesthetic takes effect, a gentle device is used to keep your eye open, allowing us to work with precision.

Step 2: Next, we carefully create a minuscule disc within the cornea, the clear front surface of your eye, using state-of-the-art technology to make an ultra-precise incision.

Step 3: Finally, we remove this tiny disc through the incision, reshaping the cornea to enhance your vision. Each step is performed with the utmost care and precision, ensuring a premium experience with optimal results.

Due to the minimally invasive process, SMILE can be completed quicker and with less interaction with the eye than similar procedures. This makes it a great fit for patients with sensitive eyes, or anyone looking for the fastest possible recovery!

  • Be sure to use eye shields and eyewear protection whenever possible
  • Make use of your prescribed eyedrops to improve healing times
  • Don’t enter dusty, pollen-filled, dirty, or smoky environments for at least week
  • Avoid strenuous activity that puts pressure on the eyes — such as exercise — for at least a few days

This study examines the first-year results of SMILE surgery at a U.S. military refractive center, comparing its effectiveness and safety to LASIK and PRK. Findings highlight SMILE’s excellent visual outcomes and reduced recovery time, offering an alternative to LASIK and PRK, especially for active-duty members needing stable, rapid visual recovery.

SMILE, or Small Incision Lenticule Extraction, is a cutting-edge alternative to LASIK for correcting nearsightedness. Using a tiny incision, a femtosecond laser removes a small corneal tissue “lenticule” to reshape vision. SMILE’s minimal incision may reduce dry eye symptoms and preserve corneal strength—ideal for active patients needing rapid recovery. Click here for more information.
