REQUEST AN APPOINTMENTThe era of SMILE PRO has arrived
With the introduction of SMILE PRO from ZEISS, minimally invasive surgery has become a reality for patients around the world.
ZEISS has developed the incomparable and innovative SMILE PRO procedure, the latest advancement in laser vision correction after PRK and LASIK. The procedure is performed entirely with ZEISS VisuMax®, a high-precision femtosecond laser.
SMILE PRO is the most modern technique for the correction of myopia (blurred distance vision) and astigmatism (blurred and distorted vision). We are proud to offer this procedure to improve the quality of life of our patients. It allows for the correction of visual defects in a safer, less invasive, more effective way and with a more comfortable and faster recovery.
To date, 10 million eyes have been successfully operated on with SMILE worldwide.
Why choose SMILE PRO?
Minimally invasive
SMILE PRO requires only a small incision. This comfortable procedure presents a low level of risk of infections and does not require a flap.
80%
reduction in lateral incision size compared to LASIK and FemtoLasik
SMILE PRO incision size is 2 to 4 mm.
Maximum comfort
SMILE PRO provides a comfortable, stress-free treatment experience that only lasts a few minutes.
The laser is activated for
approximately
10 seconds.
ZERO
smells and noise
Quick recovery process
With SMILE PRO, excellent visual recovery is usually achieved within a week of the procedure.
Usually you will be able to drive, work and play sports without glasses or contact lenses within a few days of the treatment.
How does SMILE PRO work?
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 a precise, short-term treatment experience for the patient.
VISUMAX 800 works with a practically painless contact glass, whose surface resembles the natural shape of the cornea. With minimal suction, the glass exerts a slight constant pressure on the cornea throughout the surgery. During the treatment, the patient experiences the sensation of having a contact lens on their eye.
The laser takes less than 10 seconds to create a thin layer of lens-shaped corneal tissue (called a lenticule) inside the cornea, just below the surface of the eye. The surgeon then removes the lenticule through a small incision on the outside of the eye, which is created simultaneously by the same laser. This rebuilds the cornea and corrects the refractive error.
It is a practically noiseless and odorless procedure, during which the patient can remain in the same position from start to finish.
