FAQs
Is SMILE less dry‑eye than LASIK?
SMILE uses a much smaller incision and tends to preserve more corneal nerves, often leading to fewer early dry‑eye symptoms. Individual results vary.
How fast is SMILE Pro?
On the latest platform, lenticule creation takes under 10 seconds; total chair time is shorter than earlier systems.
Who qualifies for each procedure?
Stable prescription, healthy corneas, and thickness thresholds guide laser options; ICL suits very high myopia or thin corneas. We’ll confirm during diagnostics.
