|---|---|
| Standard SMILE | The standard SMILE procedure involves creating a small incision on the cornea and using a laser to create a lenticule. |
| ReLEx SMILE | ReLEx SMILE (Refractive Lenticule Extraction SMILE) is a variation of SMILE that uses a femtosecond laser for the surgery. |
| TransPRK SMILE | TransPRK SMILE combines the principles of TransPRK (Trans-Epithelial Photorefractive Keratectomy) with SMILE surgery. |
| Enhanced SMILE | Enhanced SMILE refers to SMILE procedures that incorporate advanced technologies or techniques to further improve outcomes. |
SMILE stands for small lenticule extraction. It is an advanced form of laser vision correction surgery, most suitable for severe myopia. It is a minimally invasive procedure that doesn't involve using a blade. The procedure does not involve creating a corneal flap like other laser eye surgeries. Instead, a thin corneal lenticule is created to access the tissues that need to be removed to correct the vision.
This technique delivers excellent results for the treatment of myopia. The effectiveness of the results for hyperopia and astigmatism treatment are yet to be clearly established. If you have severe myopia and want to get clear vision, contact Pristyn Care to undergo SMILE surgery in Bangalore at a reasonable price.
Before recommending SMILE surgery to a patient, the eye doctors thoroughly examine the eyes by performing tests like:
The results of these tests indicate whether it is safe for an individual to undergo SMILE LASIK.
Step 1: Anesthesia
First, anesthetic drops are used to numb both eyes. This ensures that the patient doesn’t feel any pain or discomfort during the surgery.
Step 2: Laser Selection
A special type of laser – Carl Zeiss VisuMax laser – is used for the procedure.
Step 3: Laser Activation
The laser is activated, and it emits a number of pulses at the center of the cornea.
Step 4: Bubble Formation
The pulses create tiny bubbles (smaller than 100th of the width of a human hair), and an outline is created for the tissues that need to be removed during the procedure.
Step 5: Tunnel Creation
A small tunnel is created through which the laser pulses are passed to reshape the cornea.

Yes, health insurance plans cover the cost of SMILE surgery if the patient has refractive power of 7.5 D or above that. The refractive power below this range won’t be covered by insurance, and you’ll have to pay for the treatment personally. It is advised that you talk to your insurance provider to understand the terms and conditions of the policy.
Some potential side effects of SMILE surgery include the following-
The visual recovery after SMILE takes around 2-3 hours to 2-3 days. The full healing of the cornea will take around 2-3 weeks. However, vision stabilization might take around 3 to 6 months.
The key difference between LASIK and SMILE is the creation of the flap. In LASIK, the flap creation is essential to access the corneal tissues for modifications. In SMILE, instead of creating a flap, a lenticule is extracted to access and modify the corneal tissues.
