LASIK VS. SMILE
Which vision correction procedure is right for you?
Both procedures use the laser to reshape the cornea to correct errors of refraction permanently. They are both effective in eliminating dependence on glasses and contact lenses.
✨ LASIK
✅ A corneal flap is created, the underlying tissue is reshaped with laser, and the flap is repositioned.
✅ Tissue is reshaped in place with excimer laser.
✅ Fast recovery, but slightly higher risk of dry eye, flap-related issues.
✨ SMILE
✅ Minimally invasive, flapless procedure.
✅ A thin layer of cornea is sculpted with the laser and removed from within the cornea through a 2-3 mm incision.
✅ Usually faster visual recovery, less dry eye, more stable cornea.
The best option depends on your eye condition, lifestyle, and visual needs.
A comprehensive eye evaluation can help determine which procedure suits you best.
