SMILE Pro for Myopia

How SMILE Pro Addresses Myopia Myopia occurs when the eye focuses light in front of the retina rather than directly on it. SMILE Pro reshapes the cornea by removing a precisely calculated lenticule of tissue to help correct this focusing error. Degree of Myopia and Suitability Whether your specific degree of myopia falls within a treatable range depends on diagnostic testing, including corneal thickness measurement, rather than the general category of your prescription. What Diagnostic Testing Involves Corneal mapping and thickness measurement, along with a review of your prescription history, help determine whether SMILE Pro is appropriate for your myopia. Combined Astigmatism Many patients with myopia also have some degree of astigmatism, which SMILE Pro can often address at the same time — this is confirmed during assessment. Next Steps A consultation with diagnostic testing is the only reliable way to confirm whether SMILE Pro is suitable for your specific degree of myopia.
