About SMILE LASIK

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 Nawanshahr at a reasonable price.

Treatment

Before recommending SMILE surgery to a patient, the eye doctors thoroughly examine the eyes by performing tests like a wavefront analysis, pachymetry test, dry eye test, cycloplegic refraction, and pupil measurement. The results of these tests indicate whether it is safe for an individual to undergo SMILE LASIK.

The steps involved in the procedure are as follows-

First, anesthetic drops are used to numb both eyes. This ensures that the patient doesn’t feel any pain or discomfort during the surgery.
A special type of laser- Carl Zeiss VisuMax laser, is used for the procedure.
The laser is activated, and it emits a number of pulses at the center of the cornea.
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.
A small tunnel is created through which the laser pulses are passed to reshape the cornea.
The same steps are repeated for the other eye.

The entire procedure takes around 15 to 30 minutes approximately for both eyes. The patient is discharged within a few hours after the procedure after giving them prescription medicines and a recovery guide.

Frequently Asked Questions about Smile Eye Surgery

How much does SMILE surgery cost in Nawanshahr?

The cost of SMILE surgery in Nawanshahr ranges from Rs. 40,000 to Rs. 1,20,000 approximately. The final cost of the treatment will vary for each patient due to various factors, such as the surgeon’s fee, diagnostic tests, choice of hospital/clinic, post-op care, etc.

Does health insurance cover SMILE LASIK cost?

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.

What are SMILE surgery side effects?

Some potential side effects of SMILE surgery include the following-

Debris is left behind
Inflammation of the eyes
Over or undercorrection
Corneal sensitivity
Clouded vision

How long is SMILE LASIK surgery recovery?

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.

What is the difference between LASIK and SMILE?

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.
