Benefits of SMILE Pro
Evidence-based advantages of flapless SMILE Pro laser vision correction at FIO Hospital.
Flapless — Minimal Corneal Disruption
Unlike LASIK, SMILE Pro does not require cutting and lifting a corneal flap. The lenticule is removed through a small incision, which is designed to mean less disruption to corneal nerves compared to flap-based procedures.
Small Incision
The procedure uses a 2.5–4mm incision rather than a full corneal flap, which may reduce certain flap-related risks associated with LASIK.
Fast Procedure Time
The lenticule is created in under 10 seconds, with the full procedure completed in approximately 90 seconds per eye — among the fastest laser vision correction options available.
Same-Day, Outpatient Procedure
SMILE Pro is designed as an outpatient procedure — patients typically go home the same day and return for scheduled follow-up visits.
