SMILE Pro (Advanced Vision Correction Today)

· Those in Bangkok looking to correct myopia with the most advanced laser technology.
· Those who want to correct astigmatism with high precision.
· Those who want to get a minimally invasive vision correction procedure.
· Those who wish to achieve faster recovery and improved visual quality.
· Those who wish to try a safe and modern alternative to traditional laser surgery.

SMILE Pro is the most advanced laser vision correction procedure designed to treat myopia and astigmatism. It uses next-generation femtosecond laser technology to correct refractive errors without creating a large corneal flap, preserving corneal strength and stability. Powered by the Carl ZEISS VISUMAX 800 Femtosecond Laser, SMILE Pro delivers ultra-precise, smooth laser cuts with extremely small incisions. The procedure combines speed, safety, and accuracy to provide long-lasting vision correction with enhanced comfort and faster recovery.

SMILE Pro works by using ultrashort, high-frequency femtosecond laser pulses to create a thin, lens-shaped piece of corneal tissue (lenticule) within the cornea. This lenticule is then removed through a tiny 2 to 3 mm incision, reshaping the cornea to correct refractive errors.

Since the surface of the cornea remains largely untouched, the procedure minimizes nerve disruption and maintains corneal stability. The entire laser process takes only 8 to 10 seconds per eye, making it significantly faster than previous SMILE procedures.

1. Consultation and eye assessment will be conducted.
2. Local anesthesia or eye drops will be administered.
3. The femtosecond laser will create the lenticule.
4. A small incision will be made for lenticule extraction.
5. The lenticule will be carefully removed.
6. The incision will naturally self-seal without sutures.
7. Post-care instructions will be provided.

<Advantages>

· Enhances patient comfort
· Faster visual recovery
· Lower risk of dry eyes
· No corneal flap creation

<Limitations>
· Pre-operative assessment may be required
· Not suitable for all eye conditions

· Stop wearing contact lenses for at least 5 days before procedure
· Avoid eye makeups, retinol, AHAs, and BHAs near the eyes area for at least 1 week before procedure
· Refrain from smoking and alcohol for at least 1 week before procedure

· Avoid rubbing or putting pressure on the eyes area for at least 24 hours after procedure

Q1: Is SMILE Pro better than LASIK?
A1: SMILE Pro is considered more advanced than traditional LASIK for many patients; it uses a smaller incision, preserves more corneal strength, reduces nerve disruption, and may lower the risk of dry eyes.

Q2: How long do SMILE Pro results last?
A2: SMILE Pro results are long-lasting and intended to be permanent.

Q3: Is SMILE Pro painful?
A3: No, The procedure is performed using anesthetic eye drops. Most patients feel only mild pressure or brief discomfort during the procedure, with minimal pain afterward.

Q4: Can SMILE Pro be done twice?
A4: In most cases, SMILE Pro is performed only once. If vision changes occur later, enhancement procedures may be possible depending on corneal thickness and eye health.

Q5: What is the difference between SMILE and SMILE Pro?
A5: SMILE Pro uses the latest Carl ZEISS VISUMAX 800 femtosecond laser, offering faster laser time, higher precision, and improved patient comfort compared to earlier SMILE systems. SMILE Pro also features a more digitally integrated and personalized workflow.
