Discover What Zeiss Smile Is All About

Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE) is  a leap forward in vision correction in the field of laser eye surgery. This advanced technique uses a gentle laser to reshape your cornea through a micro-opening, correcting nearsightedness and astigmatism. The result is remarkably sharp vision, easy recovery, and minimal disruption to your daily life. With SMILE, you’re unlocking a new world of visual possibility with new eyesight.

The SMILE Procedure

The SMILE procedure is simple, comfortable, and life-changing. Here’s what you can expect during your vision journey with us:

Rapid Recovery

What Makes SMILE Different From LASIK?

Both SMILE and LASIK offer vision correction, but SMILE’s signature advantage lies in its innovative flapless approach. With only a keyhole incision and no corneal flap (as in LASIK), this technique offers our patients a smoother path to flawless vision.

Key Features of SMILE Over LASIK
