This created a lasting stigma that I still address in consultations today.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The issues with older LASIK were threefold:<\/span><\/p><ol><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Small Optical Zones:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Lasers were slower, so surgeons used smaller zones to save time and tissue. This virtually guaranteed halos for anyone with large pupils.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Flap Edge Scatter:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The LASIK flap creates a circular scar (the flap edge). If the pupil dilates beyond this edge, light hits the scar tissue and scatters.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Induced Spherical Aberration:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Older &#8220;oblate&#8221; ablation profiles flattened the cornea like a table-top. This drastic change in shape induced massive positive spherical aberration, causing significant starbursts.<\/span><\/li><\/ol><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Modern Femto-LASIK has largely solved these, but the physical presence of the flap remains a potential source of microscopic light scatter, known as &#8220;interface haze.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3caf897 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3caf897\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" id=\"4\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><b>The SMILE Pro Engineering: Designed for Low-Light Clarity<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) Pro represents a fundamental shift in how we approach corneal optics.

Because the laser creates the lenticule with consistent femtosecond pulses regardless of the diameter, the &#8220;effective&#8221; optical zone is often larger and truer than what we see with some excimer lasers. This ensures that even when your pupil dilates on a dark highway, you are looking through treated, corrected cornea.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><h2>\u00a0 \u00a0 3.
