What is SMILE PRO?
SMILE Pro (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) is a flapless laser vision correction procedure that reshapes the cornea through a tiny incision. It corrects refractive errors without creating a corneal flap, unlike traditional LASIK.
1. Preparation
Numbing eye drops are applied. The eye is gently positioned under the femtosecond laser.
2. Laser Precision
The laser creates a thin disc (lenticule) inside the cornea in a few seconds.
3. Lenticule Removal
The lenticule is removed through a small incision, reshaping the cornea to improve vision.
If you are above 18 & your eye power is stable for 1 year, then you
may qualify for SMILE PRO
How SMILE PRO Laser Vision Correction Works?
SMILE Pro uses advanced femtosecond laser technology to create and remove a corneal lenticule through a micro-incision (typically 2–4 mm).
Because no corneal flap is created:
- Corneal biomechanical strength may be better preserved
- Surface nerves may be less disturbed
- Some patients experience reduced dry eye symptoms compared to flap-based procedures
Suitability depends on corneal thickness, refractive power, and ocular health.
Who Should Consider SMILE PRO?
SMILE Pro May Be Suitable For:
- Patients with myopia (near-sightedness)
- Myopia with astigmatism
- Those seeking flapless vision correction
- Individuals concerned about dry eye risk
- Active lifestyle patients (sports professionals, defense aspirants)
May Not Be Ideal For:
- Significant hyperopia (farsightedness)
- Thin corneas
- Certain corneal irregularities
- Active eye disease
Final eligibility is confirmed only after detailed evaluation.
SMILE vs SMILE PRO: What’s the Difference?
Both SMILE and SMILE Pro are advanced, minimally invasive vision correction procedures. However, SMILE Pro uses newer technology to improve precision, comfort, and recovery time.
| Feature | SMILE (VISUMAX 500) | SMILE Pro (VISUMAX 800) |
|---|---|---|
| Laser Time (per eye) | ~30 seconds | ~8 seconds |
| Alignment / Centration | Manual | Automated (CentraLign, OcuLign) |
| Incision Size | ~4 mm | ~2 mm |
| Treatment Range | Myopia, Astigmatism | Myopia, Astigmatism, Hyperopia |
| Patient Comfort | Good | Enhanced comfort |
| Recovery Speed | 1–2 days | Within 24 hours |
| Dry Eye Risk | Low | Even lower |
| Clinical Accuracy | Good | Higher precision |
| Safety / Complication Rate | Low | Even lower (~0.13% suction loss) |
| Corneal Biomechanics | Well preserved | Better preserved |

Complete SMILE Pro Surgery Process
STEP 1
Pre-Surgery Preparation
Numbing eye drops are applied to ensure comfort. A small lid holder gently keeps your eyelids open. The eye is positioned under the femtosecond laser system.
STEP 2
Lenticule Creation
The advanced femtosecond laser creates a thin, disc-shaped tissue layer (lenticule) inside the cornea. You may feel mild pressure but no pain.
STEP 3
Small Incision & Lenticule Removal
Through a tiny micro-incision (typically 2–4 mm), the surgeon carefully removes the lenticule, reshaping the cornea to correct vision.
STEP 4
Natural Healing (No Flap Required)
Since no corneal flap is created, there are no stitches. The small incision self-seals, and vision begins improving within hours.
What Happens & What Should You Expect During SMILE Pro?
On the day of your procedure, numbing drops are applied to keep you comfortable. A small device gently keeps your eyelids open while the femtosecond laser works for a few seconds. You may feel mild pressure and notice temporary dimming of vision — this is normal and lasts briefly.
The entire treatment is quick. After the procedure, your vision may appear slightly hazy or misty for a few hours. Mild watering, light sensitivity, or a gritty sensation can occur but usually improves within the first day. Most patients resume routine activities within 24–48 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions About SMILE Pro
Get answers to the most common questions about SMILE Pro
How do I know if SMILE Pro is better for me than Contoura or LASIK?
The best procedure depends on your corneal thickness, refractive power, dry eye status, and corneal shape. SMILE Pro is often preferred for patients with myopia who want a flapless option. A detailed corneal evaluation determines the safest and most effective choice.
What is the maximum eye power SMILE Pro can correct?
SMILE Pro typically treats moderate to high myopia and certain levels of astigmatism. The exact range depends on corneal thickness and stability, which are confirmed during evaluation.
Will my vision be 6/6 (20/20) after SMILE Pro?
Many properly selected patients achieve 6/6 vision or better. However, final outcomes depend on individual healing response, eye parameters, and pre-existing refractive error.
Can SMILE Pro fail or require enhancement later?
In a small percentage of cases, residual power may remain. If corneal thickness permits, enhancement options can be discussed after complete healing and stabilization.
How long does vision remain stable after SMILE Pro?
SMILE Pro permanently corrects the treated refractive error. However, natural age-related changes such as presbyopia may occur later in life.
Is SMILE Pro safe for defense, aviation, or police eligibility?
SMILE Pro is accepted in many defense and aviation categories, provided post-operative vision meets required standards. Always confirm current eligibility rules before applying.
What are the risks of SMILE Pro?
Like any surgical procedure, SMILE Pro carries potential risks such as dry eye, temporary glare, under-correction, or infection. Careful patient selection and surgeon expertise significantly reduce complication rates.
How soon can I use mobile, laptop, or return to work?
Most patients resume screen use and office work within 1–2 days, depending on comfort and vision clarity.
Can SMILE Pro treat both eyes on the same day?
Yes, the procedure is commonly performed on both eyes in the same sitting after confirming suitability.
What happens if I rub my eyes after SMILE Pro?
Since SMILE Pro does not create a large flap, the risk of flap displacement is avoided. However, avoiding eye rubbing during the early healing phase is strongly advised.
Can I undergo cataract surgery later if needed?
Yes. SMILE Pro reshapes the cornea and does not prevent future cataract surgery if required.
Is SMILE Pro completely painless?
The procedure is performed under numbing drops. Most patients report only mild pressure during treatment and minimal discomfort afterward.
