About SMILE Eye Surgery

Advanced ReLEx SMILE Laser Surgery For Clear Vision Without Glasses

ReLEx SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) is an advanced laser vision correction procedure that helps reduce dependency on glasses and contact lenses. At Singla Eye Hospital & Laser Vision Centre, we provide advanced SMILE eye surgery using VISUMAX femtosecond laser technology for precise and comfortable vision correction.

Unlike traditional LASIK and Femto LASIK procedures, SMILE does not require creating a large corneal flap or using an excimer laser. It is a flapless and minimally invasive procedure designed to reshape the cornea through a small incision.

Why Choose Singla Eye Hospital For SMILE Surgery?

  • Advanced VISUMAX SMILE Technology

Modern femtosecond laser technology for accurate vision correction.

  • Flapless & Bladeless Procedure

No corneal flap creation, reducing risks associated with flap surgery.

  • Experienced Eye Specialists

Expert ophthalmologists providing personalized laser vision care.

  • Faster Recovery

Minimal discomfort with a quick recovery process.

How is SMILE Different From LASIK?

Traditional LASIK, Femto LASIK and Topo guided LASIK use an excimer laser to reshape the cornea after creating a corneal flap.

SMILE uses VISUMAX femtosecond laser technology that creates a small lenticule inside the cornea and removes it through a tiny 2mm incision. This makes SMILE a flapless laser vision correction procedure.

SMILE Advantages:

  • No corneal flap
  • No surgical blade
  • Small incision procedure
  • Less disturbance to corneal nerves
  • Lower chances of dry eyes
  • Quick recovery

How Does SMILE Eye Surgery Work?

Step 1: Lenticule Creation

Step 1: Lenticule Creation

The VISUMAX femtosecond laser creates a precise lenticule inside the cornea according to your eye power.

Step 2: Lenticule Removal

Step 2: Lenticule Removal

The surgeon removes the created lenticule through a small keyhole incision.

Step 3: Vision Correction

Step 3: Vision Correction

Removal of the lenticule reshapes the cornea and corrects vision problems.

FAQ

Life After SMILE Surgery

How is SMILE different from LASIK and other laser procedures?

SMILE is a flapless and bladeless laser vision correction procedure that uses VISUMAX femtosecond laser technology. Unlike LASIK and Femto LASIK, it does not require creating a large corneal flap or using an excimer laser. A small incision is used to remove the corneal lenticule and correct vision.

Yes, SMILE is a permanent vision correction procedure for suitable patients. The cornea is reshaped using femtosecond laser technology which helps correct distance vision. However, like normal aging, some people may require reading glasses after the age of 40 due to presbyopia.

SMILE has been successfully performed on more than 10 lakh eyes worldwide. The procedure is based on proven femtosecond laser technology and is considered a safe and effective vision correction option.

Yes, SMILE surgery is safe for people who wear contact lenses. However, patients may need to stop wearing contact lenses before surgery as advised by their eye specialist.

SMILE is a minimally invasive and almost painless procedure. It does not involve surgical blades or needles and the complete procedure is performed using laser technology.

The complete SMILE procedure for both eyes takes less than 12 minutes. The short procedure time and quick recovery are among the major benefits of SMILE surgery.

SMILE has a lower risk of dry eyes compared to traditional LASIK procedures because it preserves more corneal nerves. This helps reduce disturbance to the natural tear function of the eyes.

No, driving immediately after surgery is not recommended. Vision may remain slightly blurred and eyes can be sensitive to light for a few hours. Most patients can resume driving after doctor approval.

Yes, patients can usually start computer work after SMILE surgery. However, taking regular breaks and using prescribed eye drops is recommended during the initial recovery period.

Patients can usually start using eye makeup after one week of surgery after confirming with their doctor during the follow-up visit.

Yes, undergoing SMILE surgery does not prevent a person from donating their eyes after death.

Yes, patients can undergo cataract surgery after SMILE treatment. It is recommended to inform the cataract surgeon about previous SMILE surgery before the procedure.

Vision correction techniques have evolved from glasses and contact lenses to advanced laser procedures. SMILE was introduced by Carl Zeiss Meditec with VISUMAX SMILE technology in 2016 as a flapless and minimally invasive laser vision correction procedure.

Every patient and every eye is different. A detailed SMILE evaluation is required before surgery. The assessment includes vision testing, Pentacam corneal scanning and retina examination. Patients above 18 years with stable eye power, healthy cornea and normal eye health may be suitable candidates.
