Which laser eye surgery offers sharper vision and quicker healing?Smile Lasik Surgery

I have friends who underwent LASIK or Contoura and are very happy, but I feel confused about whether SMILE will give me sharper vision or faster recovery. How do patients compare these procedures in real life?

SMILE often provides vision quality comparable to Contoura Vision with fewer complications and less post-op dryness. Recovery is slightly gentler since no large corneal flap is created. Many patients who switched from LASIK or Contoura for SMILE report faster comfort, minimal irritation, and excellent long-term clarity. Ultimately, the best choice depends on your eye shape, prescription, and lifestyle, which your surgeon will assess carefully.
