SMILE Pro eye surgery suitability criteria

One of the great things about SMILE Pro laser eye surgery is that more people are suitable for this than other forms of laser treatment.

As a first step, take our online suitability test. This will give us an initial understanding of your prescription and lifestyle.

  • If the self-test is positive, we encourage you to book a free assessment.
  • At the assessment, we’ll take the time to further discover your needs and goals, perform a thorough assessment, talk through the treatment options and ensure that we customise a treatment to suit you.
  • In some instances, the latest option may not always be the best for you. Dr Gupta will ensure that you are well informed before making a decision.

SMILE Pro eye surgery may be most suited to:

Patients with pre-existing dry eye

Other refractive surgery techniques can carry a big risk factor for the exacerbation of pre-existing dry eye or the new development of dry eye due to the nature of the surgery. Dry eye post-operatively from SMILE Pro is exceedingly rare due to the minimally invasive nature of this procedure, allowing better preservation of the corneal nerves. The incidence of dry eye in the general population increases with age, making SMILE Pro an excellent option for older generations.

Patients who play contact sports or work in environments with risk of trauma

SMILE Pro is a flapless procedure, eradicating all risks of flap-related complications. Patients can return to their hobbies and work without concern of mild trauma or dirty environments, causing a corneal flap to dislodge or move, or debris to get caught under the flap.

Patients who can’t afford a long recovery time

Many of us lead busy lives, and taking time off work can be difficult. Because SMILE Pro is such a minimally invasive procedure, most patients find they can drive and return to work within 2 to 3 days after surgery. Though vision may take a few weeks to stabilise, the majority of patients find they can see quite clearly the immediate day after surgery.

  • We offer the latest in laser eye surgery technology with SMILE Pro, which is the world’s fastest growing laser eye surgery, taking only about 10 seconds of invisible “cold” laser.
  • With SMILE® Pro’s flap-free and “cold” laser technology, patients won’t see, feel, hear, or smell the laser, resulting in a more comfortable experience and potentially stronger eyes after the procedure.
  • With modern femtosecond technology, we don’t need to use a blade and all treatments are performed with laser precision.
  • We customise each treatment to reduce optical aberrations and provide excellent visual results during both the day and the night.
  • The procedure takes a few minutes and visual recovery starts within a matter of hours.

What are the advantages of SMILE Pro laser eye surgery?
  • The benefits of SMILE® Pro eye surgery are numerous, which is why this technique is considered a revolutionary refractive surgery procedure.

Speed

  • SMILE® Pro is significantly faster than traditional SMILE, taking only 10 seconds compared to 22 seconds for traditional SMILE.

Better experience

  • With SMILE® Pro’s fast, flapless, odourless and minimally invasive procedure, patients can experience less stress and discomfort.

Flapless

  • During LASIK eye surgery, a superficial flap of corneal tissue is created to allow the laser to access the underlying layers. Although uncommon, some complications can arise from the creation of this flap. SMILE Pro eliminates the need to form a flap and therefore eliminates all flap-related risks.

Minimally invasive

  • The term minimally invasive refers to the minimal amount of tissue affected during the surgery. As the superficial layers of the cornea are left intact, this contributes to improved biomechanical stability of this structure and promotes faster healing when compared to the LASIK procedure.

Single-step procedure

  • The fewer steps and movements in a surgical procedure, the better. SMILE Pro only uses one laser for the entire technique, meaning we do not need to move the patient from one machine to another. This also reduces the incidence of technique-related complications.

Fast recovery

  • With SMILE® Pro, patients can expect less dry eye compared to LASIK, faster visual recovery and, expect to get back to work within 1-2 days after surgery.

Lower risk of dry eye post-operatively

  • When compared to the LASIK procedure, SMILE Pro carries a much lower incidence of postoperative dry eye complications. This is due to fewer corneal nerves being affected during the SMILE Pro procedure, which is important for the healthy and normal production of tears.

Laser eye surgery is proven to be a safe procedure, which is why complications after laser eye surgery are rare.

Over- or under-correction occurs on average in one to two percent of cases, which may lead you to need a free enhancement procedure.

This means, however, that 98% to 99% of patients return home with glasses-free vision after one treatment.

Other rare risks include:

  • Infection
  • Corneal ectasia
  • Loss of best-corrected vision

Are there any side effects after laser eye treatment?

Immediately after the laser eye surgery, you may:

  • Feel a gritty or sandy sensation in your eye
  • Be slightly sensitive to light
  • Experience watering eyes for a few hours

Vision recovers very quickly for most people, especially patients who have had a SMILE Pro or LASIK treatment.

All-laser LASIK

All-laser LASIK is a fast and painless laser eye surgery using only a laser to safely and effectively treat:

  • Short-sightedness
  • Long-sightedness
  • Astigmatism
  • Accommodation for age-related near vision loss (presbyopia) with PresbyMAX
SmartSurfACE TransPRK

SmartSurfACE TransPRK is a touch-free laser method. It’s a great alternative for patients that do not qualify for LASIK or SMILE Pro surgery. SmartSurfACE TransPRK can effectively treat:

  • Short-sightedness
  • Long-sightedness
  • Astigmatism
ICL

Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) is a removable lens implant that is an attractive alternative for patients not suitable for corneal laser procedures. ICL can safely and effectively treat:

  • Short-sightedness
  • Long-sightedness
  • Astigmatism

  • During SMILE Pro, which is a keyhole procedure, a small piece of tissue (called a lenticule) is created inside the cornea with the laser, and removed through a small incision.
  • That means many of the layers of the cornea are unaffected by the procedure. This allows for rapid healing. Furthermore, because there is no flap there can be no flap-related complications. Patients also experience significantly less postoperative dry eye after SMILE Pro eye surgery compared to LASIK.

SMILE Pro eye surgery has excellent refractive results, less dry eye, better contrast and less induced aberrations than other refractive laser platforms.
