Both are performed under topical anaesthesia (drops). You might feel slight pressure during SMILE Pro, while Contoura is a &#8220;touchless&#8221; sensation. Post-op, Contoura patients may have a gritty sensation for 4-5 hours. SMILE patients usually feel fine almost immediately.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Q: Can I get Super-Vision with SMILE Pro?<\/b><b><br \/><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, absolutely. Many SMILE Pro patients achieve 6\/5 vision. However, because SMILE relies on the patient&#8217;s visual axis alignment during the suction phase (though assisted by centration lights), and doesn&#8217;t treat surface irregularities, the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">probability<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of hitting that 6\/5 mark is statistically higher with the guided precision of Contoura.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Q: Which is more expensive?<\/b><b><br \/><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generally, SMILE Pro commands a premium due to the expensive femtosecond technology and the specialized &#8220;patient interface&#8221; kit used for each eye. Contoura is slightly more affordable but is still a premium procedure compared to standard LASIK. However, at Envision LASIK Centre, we believe cost should never dictate safety. We offer transparent pricing for both.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>How can you book your path to precision vision?<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The debate between Contoura Vision and SMILE Pro is not about which is &#8220;better&#8221; in a vacuum; it is about which is better <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">for you<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are chasing the absolute pinnacle of high-definition vision\u2014the &#8220;Super-Vision&#8221; that lets you see the texture of the moon or the individual leaves on a distant tree\u2014<\/span><b>Contoura Vision<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the technological marvel designed for that purpose.
