Frequently Asked Questions about SMILE LASIK Surgery

Does health insurance cover SMILE surgery cost in Chennai ?

The health insurance plan will cover the cost of SMILE surgery if the patient’s refractive power is equal to or higher than 7.5 diopters. The refractive power below this range won’t get covered by the insurance. To learn more about the terms and conditions of the policy, talk to your health insurance provider.

How is SMILE different from standard LASIK?

SMILE and LASIK use two different techniques to correct vision problems. In LASIK, a 300-degree circular flap is created to access the corneal tissues that need to be removed to correct the refractive error. Unlike this, SMILE involves creating a 60-degree incision into the top layer to access the underlying corneal tissues that need to be removed.

Does SMILE surgery give permanent results?

Refractive surgeries, including SMILE, involve removing the corneal tissues. Thus, the changes made in the cornea are irreversible. The results last for a long time and provide a clear vision to the patient. However, refractive surgeries cannot prevent future changes in the cornea that can again lead to the development of vision problems.

What is the success rate of SMILE surgery?

The success rate of SMILE surgery is more than 90% in most cases, with minimal chances of complications.

When can I see TV after SMILE LASIK?

The eyes will heal in the first few weeks, and you’ll get dry eyes more often. Watching TV or using a digital screen can decrease the blink rate, which in turn makes dry eyes worse. That’s why doctors often recommend limiting your screen time during the initial healing.
