One of the popular Laser Vision Correction (LVC) procedures is LASIK. However, it turns out that there is a new breakthrough that is even superior, namely SMILE PRO.
What is SMILE PRO?
The robotic surgical technology used during this minimally invasive treatment takes 10 seconds. Because this procedure goes beyond traditional LVC procedures such as LASIK or contoura vision, today’s millennial generation prefers SMILE PRO.
What Are the Advantages of SMILE PRO Compared to Other LVC?
The benefits of the SMILE Pro procedure are similar to other widely used LVC procedures such as LASIK surgery. However, there is a significant difference in treatment, namely that there is no need to cover to create a flap, thereby reducing the possibility of problems.
This does not pose a danger of shifting, folding, dislocation, or migration of the flap, and the cornea is more stable in the long term and there is less chance of dry eye.
Without outside interference, the SMILE procedure is carried out in a closed room. The precision of this procedure is high because it is not affected by environmental factors, including humidity, wind, and temperature.
Here are some of the advantages of SMILE PRO:
1. Fast Diagnosis
Each eye receives SMILE PRO treatment in less than 15 minutes, and the laser is applied for only a short time. This is the best solution for patients who are hesitant or worried about undergoing laser treatment.
2. Fast Recovery
Patients who undergo SMILE PRO recover more quickly after the procedure, as it always has a very fast recovery rate.
Most patients notice that their vision has improved significantly within just a few hours, and completely improves within a few weeks.
Most patients return to normal life within a day or two after treatment.
3. More Stable
With this procedure, no flap is formed, and only a small incision is required in the corneal tissue. This allows for faster recovery times and increased corneal stability.
Surgical treatment should be as intrusive as possible to obtain the best results.
4. Low Chance of Complications
SMILE Pro has excellent procedural safety standards, although LASIK is also safe.
5. Reduces Discomfort
Because this procedure does not use a flap and only makes small incisions, there is less chance of dry eyes, and the healing process is faster.
In short, this procedure can reduce discomfort during the recovery process.
6. Looser requirements compared to LASIK
If you have been told by your doctor that you are not eligible for the LASIK procedure, you may still be able to undergo SMILE PRO.
The requirements for undergoing SMILE Pro are more relaxed than other LVC procedures.
So, immediately consult your eye doctor to find out whether this procedure is suitable for you. Schedule your eye consultation at Mayapada Eye Center now.
