Smile For Glass Removal In Delhi

SMILE, also known as Small Incision Lenticule Extraction which is significantly less invasive than LASIK surgery but provides the results like this surgery. Through a focused, computer-guided LASER, the surgeon makes a small incision on the cornea. With the help of this incision, a small corneal tissue is removed which results in reshaping of the cornea. With the help of highly-focused light, the surgery is done with high precision.

Smile For Glass Removal In Delhi

SMILE is an advanced surgery for enhancing vision and is less invasive as compared to

LASIK​. It is a one-step procedure and provides enhanced and clear vision.

What is the procedure of SMILE surgery?

SMILE​, also known as Small Incision Lenticule Extraction which is significantly less invasive

than ​LASIK surgery ​but provides the results like this surgery. Through a focused,

computer-guided LASER, the surgeon makes a small incision on the cornea. With the help

of this incision, a small corneal tissue is removed which results in reshaping of the cornea.

With the help of highly-focused light, the surgery is done with high precision.

The procedure ends within a minute and the patient starts feeling better within 24 hours

after surgery.

What are the benefits of SMILE?

Minimally Invasive Procedure:

As compared to ​PRK and LASIK surgery​, the SMILE is less invasive. During the ​LASIK

surgery​, a corneal flap of 20 mm is created while in PRK, an incision of 8-mm is created. In

the SMILE, the vision is corrected by creating only a 3 mm incision.

No formation of flap:

Although ​LASIK surgery​ is a highly safe procedure complication may arise in a few

patients because of the flap creation. ​SMILE​ does not cause flap formation and thus, is

safer, as compared to ​LASIK​.


Odorless Procedure:

Due to the corneal ablations in ​LASIK surgery​ through excimer laser, the patient may smell

an odor. As ​SMILE​ does not use an excimer laser, the procedure is completely free from

the odor.

Fast recovery:

As the ​SMILE procedure​ is minimally invasive, the patient may recover fast and the vision

is enhanced within a day after surgery. The results of the ​SMILE procedure​ are like that of

LASIK surgery​.

Fewer complications:

The patients undergoing ​SMILE procedure​ have fewer chances of complications as

compared to ​LASIK surgery​. There is less risk of halos or glare complications and have

less incidence of dry eye syndrome.

Who are good candidates for the SMILE

procedure?

SMILE procedure​ is effective in those patients who do not meet the criteria for ​LASIK

surgery​. These candidates include patients with a thin cornea, suffering from dry eye

syndrome, and are involved in contact sports.


What is the difference between LASIK and

SMILE?

Both procedures are used to correct the eye vision and to remove the spectacles and

contact lenses. However, ​SMILE​ is safer as compared to ​LASIK surgery​. The recovery

period in the ​SMILE procedure​ is also less as compared to LASIK. ​SMILE surgery​ is less

invasive and there is no creation of a flap in ​SMILE procedure​.

SMILE is developed by using the traditional system of vision correction with the

advancement in reducing the side effects. Experienced ophthalmologists should do ​SMILE

surgery​.
