Is SMILE Pro better than LASIK?

LASIK, on the other hand, is more commonly used for a wider range of vision issues. The best option depends on your unique visual goals and eyes, which can be determined during a consultation. Both have rapid visual recovery, excellent results and are backed by proven technology.
What is the success rate of SMILE Pro eye treatment?
SMILE Pro eye treatment has a high success rate, with most patients achieving clear, improved vision. While outcomes can vary depending on individual factors, SMILE Pro is widely regarded as a safe and effective treatment for vision correction.
Is SMILE Pro laser treatment painful?
SMILE Pro treatment is designed to be a minimally invasive and pain free procedure, as anaesthetic eye drops are applied to numb the eye during the procedure.
How long is the recovery time?
SMILE Pro laser eye surgery offers a quick recovery time, allowing most people to return to work and daily activities within 24-48 hours, depending on their individual healing process.
