Are you fed up of wearing spectacles and are searching for a better option? Well, bid farewell to those specs with SMILE. It stands for Small Incision Lenticular Extraction and is a highly advanced technology of blade-free laser vision correction. SMILE is a pin-hole minimally invasive corneal surgery. SMILE vision correction surgery is for those who have stable eye power and wish to get rid of spectacles or contact lenses. It not only corrects myopia but shows excellent results with improved vision. This surgery is only performed after all tests are done, and the condition of the eyes is appropriately gauged.
WHY SMILE EYE SURGERY IS SAFE
LESS INVASIVE:
In SMILE eye surgery, the incision is made only 2mm wide. Hence, it reduces the disturbance that corneal nerves suffer in comparison to other surgical procedures.
UNCOMPLICATED:
Another benefit for SMILE eye surgery is that it comes with no post-surgery complications since no corneal flap was created during the operation. It ensures the speedy recovery of the patient.
BLADE FREE AND PAINLESS:
The eyes are anaesthetized before the surgery in SMILE so that they can be prevented from blinking or closing. Then, the surgeon uses Femto laser technology to create precise lenticular surfaces in the cornea. Later, they remove the lenticule through the incision.
QUICK SURGERY AND RECOVERY:
The whole process of SMILE eye surgery is done in 15 min. The laser is used for just a minimal amount of time. The patient is allowed to go back home after a check-up by the doctor post-surgery.
WHY IS SMILE SURGERY BETTER THAN CONTOURA VISION SPECS REMOVAL
Incision Size:
Incision size involved in SMILE is 2mm, while Contoura requires 22mm diameter flap cut.
Dry Eyes:
The chances of a patient suffering from dry eyes are very lean if they have opted for SMILE. While, after having contoura surgery, the issue of dry eyes is common.
Long Term Stability of Correction:
The chances of long term stability of eye correction are much higher in SMILE than in contoura.
Need for Treatment:
The chances for further treatment is post-surgery is far lesser than SMILE than in contoura.
Flap Free Approach:
Contoura surgery requires a flap. It also does not offer a minimally invasive flap free approach like SMILE.
Advanced Technology:
Techniques like Contoura utilizes the excimer laser only unlike SMILE, which works on the most advanced femtosecond laser platform.
