As you know, Femto LASIK has been helping patients for more than 25 years to see more clearly without glasses. Today we want to tell you about the advanced laser vision correction technology coming to our practice – SMILE pro! Together with Femto LASIK, SMILE pro provides us with a complete set of laser vision correction tools to help many patients find better vision and less dependence on glasses or contacts.
Understanding how both Femto LASIK and SMILE pro work will help you understand your vision procedure options.
LASIK was developed in the early 1990s and is the most utilized form of laser vision correction today.
During the Femto LASIK procedure, a laser is used to make a small flap across the cornea. The flap is folded back, and a second laser is used to reshape the cornea, which allows the eye to focus clearly. The flap is then folded back into its original position.
After Femto LASIK, it takes very little time for the flap to heal, and side effects include slight risk of infection and dry eye symptoms. Visual recovery takes place immediately. Healing and stability of the flap takes four to seven days.
SMILE pro is the first major innovation in laser vision correction since LASIK. The procedure is minimally invasive, noiseless and odorless.
During a SMILE pro procedure, a thin, contact lens-shaped layer just beneath the surface of the eye is removed through a small opening. Due to removing this layer, the cornea is gently reshaped and the patient’s vision is sharpened, correcting the refractive error.
SMILE pro is a gentle and highly precise procedure lasting only a few minutes total, with the laser only active for about 10 seconds. There is little disturbance to the eye because of the small laser opening size.
Cases of dry eye, severed nerves and infection as a result of laser vision correction are very low with SMILE pro. Overall it tends to be a very comfortable and convenient experience for patients. Patients are able to resume most normal daily activities within a few days, including driving, showering, applying makeup and going to work.
The visual outcome is highly predictable. More than 2,000,000 SMILE pro procedures have been performed worldwide, and results have been consistent.
