What is SMILE?
ZEISS SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) is the latest in laser vision correction for myopia (nearsightedness) and astigmatism, providing LASIK-like outcomes in a minimally invasive procedure. A laser is used to create a thin contact lens-shape layer just beneath the surface of the eye and then a small opening through which that layer is removed, correcting your vision.

How is ZEISS SMILE Different than LASIK?
LASIK
- A corneal flap is made with a laser or blade (opening approx. 20 mm).
- A laser reshapes the cornea, resulting in clearer vision.

approx. 20 mm
ZEISS SMILE
- Using a gentler laser than past LASIK, a small opening is made in the cornea (opening < 4 mm).
- A small layer is removed, resulting in clearer vision.

< 4 mm
