SMILE: Frequently Asked Questions

OUR FOCUS IS YOUR VISION

Curious about SMILE laser vision correction? This cutting-edge procedure offers a minimally invasive way to achieve clear, glasses-free vision. Unlike traditional LASIK, SMILE doesn’t require creating a corneal flap, which means less disruption to the eye and a faster, more comfortable recovery. Many patients notice significant improvement in their vision within days and appreciate the convenience of returning to their daily routines quickly.

Want to know if SMILE is right for you? Ideal candidates are those with mild to moderate nearsightedness and stable vision prescriptions.
