What is SMILE PRO?

Discover SMILE Pro, the world’s first robotic laser vision correction technology. The treatment now takes less than 10 seconds and is more comfortable than ever. Experience modern vision correction at its finest!

Why Chose SMILE PRO?

  • High Accuracy

    The precision of the laser technology used in SMILE Pro is at a microscopic level, reshaping the cornea with unparalleled precision

  • Quick

    It takes less than 10 seconds to regain your perfect vision

  • Rapid Recovery

    SMILE Pro patients recover in 3 hours and return to their day-to-day activities in 24 hours

  • World’s First

    SMILE Pro is the world’s first Laser Vision Correction procedure that is Robotic, Flapless, Minimally Invasive, Gentle, and virtually pain-free.

  • Minimally invasive

    SMILE Pro is gentle and minimally invasive, in which a keyhole incision as small as 3 mm is made for lenticule extraction.

  • Freedom from glasses

    No more glasses. No more lenses. One procedure with superior visual outcome.

SMILE Pro works for High Myopic,
High Cylindrical Power and Astigmatism too!

How does SMILE Pro work?

Until now, refractive correction has usually involved the surgeon first cutting a flap, which was then folded back to remove corneal tissue point by point. SMILE Pro now enables laser vision correction without a corneal flap and is thus minimally invasive.

Creation of the lenticle and the incision

The first step with the VisuMax 800 is to create a refractive lenticule and a small incision of no more than two to three millimeters in the intact cornea, which can be done almost independently of the surrounding conditions and corneal condition

Removal of the lenticle

In the second step, the lenticle is removed through the created incision. Since no flap is cut, this is only a minimal intervention in the biomechanics of the cornea.

Rehabilitation

Removal of the lenticle changes the cornea to achieve the desired refractive change.

FAQs

The corneal opening with the SMILE Pro method is significantly smaller (2 mm) than with LASIK (20 mm). The cornea remains stable and the tear flow remains intact, making it all the more safer.

With the SMILE Pro procedure, the surgeons work with the so-called keyhole technology. The cornea remains stable and the tear flow is hardly disturbed compared to LASIK.

Although flap complications are very rare with a LASIK incision, they are completely eliminated with SMILE Pro treatment due to the keyhole technology.

The SMILE Pro procedure is even suitable for patients with higher refractive errors, thinner corneas or dry eyes. Thus, myopic patients up to -10 diopters can be treated with the SMILE Pro procedure. With Femto-LASIK, treatment was only recommended up to a maximum of -8 diopters. A thinner cornea (min. 480 micrometers) is also not a problem, because the cornea remains fully intact with the SMILE Pro procedure and the tissue removal is not as deep.
