SMILE Pro and LASIK are two of the most advanced forms of laser vision correction available today, but they use different techniques to achieve the same goal: reducing or eliminating the need for glasses and contact lenses.
LASIK works by creating a thin flap on the surface of the cornea before reshaping the underlying tissue with an excimer laser. SMILE Pro, on the other hand, is a minimally invasive procedure that corrects vision through a tiny keyhole incision, removing a small piece of corneal tissue known as a lenticule without the need for a flap.
Both procedures can deliver excellent visual outcomes and rapid recovery times. The most suitable option depends on factors such as your prescription, corneal thickness, eye health and lifestyle. In this video, our specialists explain the key differences between SMILE Pro and LASIK, helping you understand how each treatment works and which may be most appropriate for your individual needs.
