SMILE EYE SURGERY
Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE) eye surgery is an innovative refractive surgery technique used to correct nearsightedness and astigmatism. Unlike traditional LASIK surgery, SMILE does not require the creation of a corneal flap. Instead, a femtosecond laser is used to create a thin, disc-shaped piece of tissue called a lenticule within the cornea. The surgeon then removes the lenticule through a small incision, reshaping the cornea and correcting the refractive error. SMILE surgery offers several advantages over LASIK, including a smaller incision size, potentially faster recovery, and reduced risk of dry eye syndrome.
After SMILE Procedure
Following SMILE surgery, patients may experience some mild discomfort or side effects such as dryness, irritation, or sensitivity to light. These symptoms typically subside within a few days as the eyes heal.
Patients are advised to use prescribed eye drops to promote healing and alleviate any discomfort. Unlike LASIK, SMILE surgery may involve a shorter recovery period, with many patients experiencing improved vision within the first few days after the procedure. However, it’s important to attend all follow-up appointments with the surgeon to monitor the healing process and ensure the best possible outcome.
With proper post-operative care, SMILE surgery can provide long-lasting vision correction and improved quality of life for eligible candidates.
What To Expect?
SMILE surgery preserves more of the corneal structure compared to LASIK, which may be particularly beneficial for individuals with thinner corneas or those at risk of corneal ectasia, a rare but serious complication of refractive surgery. The preservation of corneal tissue may also make SMILE a suitable option for individuals with active lifestyles or professions that involve physical contact or impact. Furthermore, SMILE surgery has been shown to provide excellent visual outcomes and high patient satisfaction rates, with many patients achieving clear and stable vision without the need for glasses or contact lenses. Overall, the benefits of SMILE eye surgery make it a compelling option for eligible candidates seeking safe and effective vision correction.
