"Zeiss SMILE procedure in progress using femtosecond laser technology"

Zeiss Visumax SMILE

At Dayal Eye Centre, we are committed to providing our patients with the latest advancements in vision correction. The ZEISS VisuMax SMILE procedure represents a significant leap forward in refractive surgery, offering a minimally invasive solution for correcting myopia (nearsightedness) and astigmatism. This innovative technique combines precision, safety, and patient comfort to deliver outstanding visual outcomes.

The ZEISS VisuMax SMILE can be used for diagnosing and monitoring the following eye conditions:

  • Myopia (Nearsightedness)
  • Astigmatism
  • Post-LASIK Enhancement
  • Refractive Surgery for Active Lifestyles
  • Dry Eye Concerns

Minimally Invasive Procedure

SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) is a flapless technique that requires only a small incision of 2–4 mm in the cornea, compared to the larger flap created in traditional LASIK surgery. This approach preserves the integrity of the corneal surface, leading to faster healing and reduced risk of complications. ​

High-Precision Femtosecond Laser Technology

The VisuMax system utilizes advanced femtosecond laser technology to create a precise lenticule (a small, lens-shaped piece of corneal tissue) within the cornea. This lenticule is then removed through the tiny incision, reshaping the cornea to correct refractive errors. The laser's exceptional accuracy ensures predictable and reliable results. ​

Enhanced Corneal Biomechanical Stability

By preserving the majority of the upper corneal layers, the SMILE procedure maintains the cornea's natural strength and stability. This structural preservation contributes to better long-term outcomes and reduces the likelihood of postoperative complications associated with corneal weakening. ​

Reduced Incidence of Dry Eye Syndrome

The smaller incision used in SMILE disrupts fewer corneal nerves responsible for tear production, potentially resulting in a lower incidence of dry eye symptoms post-surgery compared to traditional LASIK. This advantage enhances patient comfort during the recovery period. ​

Rapid Visual Recovery

Patients undergoing the SMILE procedure often experience swift visual recovery, with many achieving improved vision within a few days. The minimally invasive nature of the surgery contributes to reduced healing time and allows for a quicker return to daily activities. ​

Comprehensive Treatment Range

The VisuMax SMILE procedure is effective for correcting a wide range of myopia and astigmatism levels, making it a versatile option for patients with varying degrees of refractive errors. Your eye care professional will determine if SMILE is suitable for your specific vision needs. ​

We continuously invest in the latest technology to provide better eye care and early disease detection. Experience the difference with advanced retinal imaging. Schedule your appointment today and take a proactive step toward protecting your vision.
