SMILE

SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) is a minimally invasive eye surgery that corrects vision problems like nearsightedness. Using a laser, a tiny, precise disc of tissue (called a lenticule) is carved inside the cornea through a small side opening. This lenticule is then removed through the same opening, reshaping the cornea to improve vision. SMILE offers a faster recovery, less discomfort, and preserves more of the cornea’s natural structure compared to traditional methods, making it a popular choice for stable myopia correction.
