What Is SMILE Surgery?
SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) surgery is the latest procedure that corrects vision errors, including myopia, hypermetropia, astigmatism, and presbyopia. The treatment modifies the cornea to optimize light alignment on the retina, resulting in improved clarity of sight and a reduced need for corrective eyewear. SMILE is a gentle technique that requires minimal intrusion, promoting quick healing and enduring outcomes.
At Dayal Eye Centre, we guide you through each phase of the SMILE procedure. Our experienced team of surgeons provides the best care with advanced technology for optimal outcomes. Schedule a consultation today to learn how SMILE can change your eyesight!
What Causes Refractive Errors?
Myopia (Nearsightedness): Often inherited and develops during childhood. Tends to progress during the teenage years.
Hyperopia (Farsightedness): Can be inherited. Typically seen in children, it often decreases as they grow older.
Presbyopia: Caused by aging, as the eye’s lens becomes rigid and less flexible after age 40.
Astigmatism: Occurs due to an uneven corneal shape, leading to blurry or distorted vision.
What are the Symptoms of Refractive Errors?
Blurry Vision: Difficulty seeing clearly, especially at certain distances.
Doublesight: Perceiving two distinct images of one object.
Hazy Vision: Objects appear unclear or foggy.
Headache: Frequent headaches, often caused by eye strain.
Squinting: Attempting to focus by squinting, which may help temporarily.
Eye Fatigue: A sensation of discomfort or tiredness in the eyes.
Eye Pain: Soreness or discomfort in the eyes.
Trouble Focusing: Difficulty focusing on objects, especially at close range.
If you experience any of these symptoms, get your eyes checked right away at Dayal Eye Centre.
Types of SMILE Surgery
Standard SMILE: Involves a small incision on the cornea and a laser to create and extract a lenticule to correct refractive errors.
ReLEx SMILE: A more advanced version using a femtosecond laser for a minimally invasive approach.
TransPRK SMILE: Combines the benefits of TransPRK and SMILE, offering an excellent alternative for individuals who aren’t suitable for traditional LASIK.
Enhanced SMILE: Uses advanced technologies to improve outcomes for optimal vision correction.

Zeiss Visumax SMILE
At Dayal Eye Centre, we utilize the ZEISS VisuMax SMILE procedure to offer a revolutionary solution for correcting myopia (nearsightedness) and astigmatism. This new, minimally invasive procedure offers precision, safety, and comfort, yielding outstanding visual outcomes for our patients. The VisuMax system utilizes high-precision femtosecond laser technology to create a small lenticule within the cornea, correcting refractive error. Unlike traditional LASIK, the small 2-4 mm incision of SMILE preserves the cornea, which results in quicker recovery and lower risks of complications. This method also lowers the chances of experiencing dry eye issues and promotes rapid vision restoration.

Diagnosis Before SMILE Surgery
At Dayal Eye Centre, we perform a thorough pre-surgical assessment to make sure you are a good candidate for the SMILE procedure. Here is a summary of the steps:
Comprehensive Eye Checkup
We start by checking the general health of your eyes to identify any conditions like glaucoma or cataracts that may affect the surgery.
Corneal Mapping and Topography
We utilize high-tech imaging to analyze the shape, curvature, and thickness of your cornea and identify any abnormalities that can influence the procedure.
Measurement of Refractive Error
We take the measurements of the degree of your nearsightedness (myopia) and astigmatism to make sure they are within the correct range for SMILE surgery.
Pupil Size Assessment
We measure the size of your pupils, particularly in dim light, to optimize the surgery and reduce post-operative visual aberrations.
Ocular Surface and Tear Film Evaluation
We assess for dry eye, as it can affect recovery and comfort, to make sure your tear film is in good condition prior to the procedure.
Endothelial Cell Count
We analyze your corneal endothelial cell count with specular microscopy, as low cell count can increase the risk of surgery and impact recovery.
Retinal and Optic Nerve Health
We carry out OCT imaging to assess your retina and optic nerve’s health and identify that there are no underlying problems that can influence your vision.
Prescription Stability
We verify that your prescription has not changed in a period of one year to have a successful surgery outcome.
Who Should Undergo SMILE Surgery?
Minimum Age Requirement: 18 years or older
Stable Prescription: Your eye care prescriptions should not have changed in the past 6 months.
Nearsightedness: Prescriptions should range from -1 to -10
Astigmatism: Should not exceed 3 diopters
Eye Health: Eyes must be in good condition
Avoid If: You have glaucoma, keratoconus, unbalanced glucose levels, or eye-related allergies
Not Recommended: During pregnancy or nursing, but can be scheduled afterwards

Numbing and Preparation
The process begins with numbing your eyes using anesthetic drops, followed by an eyelid holder to keep your eye open while suction keeps it steady.
Reshaping the Cornea
With the Visumax femtosecond laser, we create a lenticule and a 4mm corneal opening specifically to correct your refractive error.
Removing the Lenticule
We remove the lenticule carefully through the tiny opening, reshaping your cornea for better vision.
Vision Correction
By removing the lenticule, we reshape the cornea, effectively correcting your refractive error and improving your vision.

Immediate Post-Surgery Period
You will have slight discomfort, sensitivity to light, and blurred vision after your SMILE surgery. These are common as your eyes start to recover. Protective goggles will be given for several days to prevent rubbing your eyes.
The first 24 to 48 Hours
Take frequent breaks to give your eyes ample rest during this time. Lubricating eye drops will be prescribed to keep your eyes moist. It is normal to experience changes in vision as your eyes adjust over time.
First Month of Recovery
By the end of the first month, the majority of patients notice an improvement in their vision. You will experience less dryness or discomfort, and you may no longer require glasses or contact lenses.
Long-Term Recovery
The best visual outcomes are usually achieved within a few months. Keep following the aftercare guidelines, such as eye protection and drops as prescribed, for optimal results.

Frequently Asked Questions
How successful is SMILE?
About 99% of people achieve 20/40 vision six months after SMILE surgery, while 88% achieve 20/20 vision, showing excellent long-term results.
Should I get LASIK or SMILE?
There is no one-size-fits-all answer. SMILE is an excellent choice for those with dry eyes, while LASIK is better suited for addressing farsightedness. Consult our doctor to find the best option.
Is SMILE eye surgery painful?
SMILE surgery is typically pain-free, but some individuals may experience mild eye discomfort after the procedure. Pain is generally minimal and short-lived.
Is SMILE surgery permanent?
SMILE offers permanent vision correction. However, age-related eye conditions, like cataracts or presbyopia, may still affect vision in the future.
Can I use a laptop after SMILE surgery?
Following SMILE surgery, make sure to rest and avoid screen time for the first 24 hours. Your eyes will heal swiftly, but it is important to minimize screen usage for the best recovery results.
What is the difference between SMILE and LASIK?
SMILE is a more straightforward procedure compared to LASIK, as it involves a tiny incision rather than creating a flap. SMILE preserves a larger amount of corneal tissue and removes the need to create a flap.
