SMILE PRO, the most modern and least invasive technology for the correction of myopia and astigmatism

04 July 2024

Clear vision is the result of light passing through a perfectly shaped eye, allowing clear focus on the retina. There are imperfections that affect various structures of the eye – cornea, lens, retina – that cause so-called refractive errors. Among them are:

Myopia. (poor distance vision). It occurs when the cornea is very curved and/or the eye is very long, so the light focuses before reaching the retina, causing distant objects to appear blurry.

Astigmatism. It occurs when the cornea is oval and causes light to focus in more than one place in relation to the retina, causing both near and far images to appear blurry and distorted.

Recover your vision with the innovative SMILE PRO procedure

SMILE PRO is the most modern technique for the correction of myopia and astigmatism. In our ophthalmological center we are proud to have this procedure to improve the quality of life of our patients. SMILE PRO allows you to correct visual defects in a safer, less invasive way, more effectively and with a more comfortable and faster recovery.

How is SMILE PRO carried out? With VISUMAX 800 from ZEISS

The new SMILE PRO is performed with the ZEISS VISUMAX 800 femtosecond laser. This procedure is characterized by its great speed, precision, high discharge frequency and for being a comfortable technique for the patient. This translates into precise and short-term treatments.

VISUMAX 800 works with a practically painless contact glass, the surface of which resembles the natural shape of the cornea. With minimal suction, the glass exerts a small constant pressure on the cornea throughout the surgery. During the treatment, you have the sensation of having a contact lens in your eye.

Reasons why SMILE PRO is the best gift for your eyes

1. Minimally invasive: SMILE PRO requires only a small incision (80% smaller than that used in FemtoLasik). This comfortable procedure involves a low level of infections and does not require a corneal flap.

2. Maximum comfort: SMILE PRO provides a comfortable, stress-free treatment experience that only lasts a few minutes.

3. With SMILE PRO, excellent visual recovery is usually achieved a week after the procedure. Normally, you can drive and play sports without glasses or contact lenses within a few days after undergoing treatment. Additionally, the patient can return to work the next day.
