The cornea is too steep or the eyeball is too long

Uneven curvature of the cornea causing distorted vision

Blurry or hazy vision at certain distances
Eyestrain after prolonged tasks
Need to squint to see clearly
Double vision or ghost images
Night vision difficulties with halos around lights

How is SMILE Lasik Surgery Diagnosed?

To determine if you are a suitable candidate for SMILE LASIK, your ophthalmologist will perform:

Corneal topography to map curvature and thickness
Refraction test to measure the degree of vision error
Pupil size assessment to evaluate light sensitivity and night vision
Tear film evaluation to detect dry eyes
Retinal examination to ensure no underlying eye diseases

These tests help confirm safety and suitability for the procedure.

Advanced Treatment Options for SMILE Lasik Surgery

While SMILE is itself a state-of-the-art vision correction procedure, other advanced alternatives may also be considered:

Standard LASIK: Uses a corneal flap with excimer laser reshaping
Femto LASIK: Blade-free flap creation for higher precision
PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy): Surface laser reshaping for thin corneas
Contoura Vision LASIK: Customized corneal mapping for precise correction

Recovery Time

Most patients notice a significant improvement in vision within 24 to 48 hours after SMILE LASIK. However, the eyes typically require one to two weeks for complete comfort restoration and several weeks for full vision stabilization.

What to Expect: Before, During & After Procedure

Before surgery, your doctor will review your medical history, check your vision prescription, and conduct detailed corneal measurements.
During the procedure, numbing drops are applied, and a femtosecond laser creates a lenticule inside the cornea. This lenticule is removed through a tiny incision, reshaping the cornea without a flap.
After the procedure, you can return home the same day. You may experience mild dryness or light sensitivity for a few days. Most daily activities can be resumed within 1 to 2 days.

Recovery Timeline & Post-Treatment Care

First 24 hours: Avoid touching or rubbing your eyes, rest adequately, use prescribed lubricating drops
First week: Avoid swimming, dusty environments, and strenuous exercises
2 to 4 weeks: Wear sunglasses outdoors and attend follow-up visits
1 to 3 months: Full vision stabilization and enhanced clarity

Following all post-operative instructions ensures optimal long-term results.
