Refractive surgery for myopia

Say Goodbye to Glasses – Enjoy Clear Vision

SMILE and LASIK have helped millions of people around the world achieve freedom from glasses and contact lenses after a single procedure that takes less than 15 minutes.Safe, precise, and with a fast recovery, these procedures are widely recommended by leading ophthalmologists.

Is Nearsightedness Quietly Affecting Your Daily Life?

  • Glasses can be inconvenient when playing sports, walking in the rain, or wearing a face mask.
  • Blurred vision and eye strain while working on a computer or driving at night.
  • Long-term dependence on contact lenses may lead to dry eyes and eye infections.
  • Reduced confidence in appearance and limitations for certain careers (such as pilots, military personnel, or police officers).

SMILE and LASIK – Two of the World's Leading Refractive Surgery Technologies

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis)
  • Procedure: A femtosecond laser creates a corneal flap, followed by an excimer laser to reshape the cornea and correct refractive errors.
  • Treatment range: Up to -10.00 D of myopia, 6.00 D of astigmatism, and +6.00 D of hyperopia.
  • Suitable for: Patients with higher refractive errors and average to relatively thin corneas.
  • Incision size: Approximately 20 mm corneal flap, moderately invasive.
  • Laser treatment time: About 1.3 seconds per diopter.
  • Pain/discomfort: Minimal pain with mild discomfort during the first 2–4 hours.
  • Potential complications: Risk of flap displacement after surgery.
  • Dry eye: Moderate and usually improves within 1–3 months.
  • Visual recovery: Rapid, typically within 48 hours.
SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction)
  • Procedure: No corneal flap is created. A femtosecond laser forms a small lenticule within the cornea, which is removed through a 2 mm micro-incision.
  • Treatment range: Up to -10.00 D of myopia and 5.00 D of astigmatism. Hyperopia is not currently treatable with SMILE.
  • Suitable for: Patients with sensitive eyes, dry-eye tendencies, or those who wish to return quickly to sports, work, or wearing makeup after surgery.
  • Incision size: 2 mm, minimally invasive.
  • Laser treatment time: Approximately 23 seconds to create the lenticule.
  • Pain/discomfort: Even less discomfort than LASIK.
  • Potential complications: Eliminates flap-related complications because no corneal flap is created.
  • Dry eye: Generally less common than with LASIK due to the smaller incision.
  • Visual recovery: Fast, typically within 3–7 days.
