SMILE: Laser Vision Correction in New York City

What is SMILE?

SMILE, FDA-approved in 2018, is a relatively new procedure that involves cutting a “pocket” in the cornea and removing a small piece of cornea (called a “lenticle”). This innovative technique allows the cornea to collapse onto itself, resulting in corneal flattening and vision correction. SMILE utilizes laser technology to precisely create the corneal pocket.

Advantages of LASEK

While SMILE offers some advantages, LASEK provides distinct benefits that make it a compelling choice for many patients. By opting for LASEK, you can experience the following advantages:

Is the hype around SMILE justified?

Regrettably, there’s a lot of excitement surrounding SMILE just because it’s a new procedure. Some people assume that new means better. However, it’s important to know that SMILE is not suitable for everyone. That’s why we offer a Free Consultation to examine your eyes and determine the best laser vision correction procedure for you. We have a range of options, including SMILE, LASIK, LASEK, PRK, i-LASIK, non-cutting LASIK, bladeless LASIK, ICL, epi-LASIK, epi-LASEK, and more.

Consider this analogy: Imagine trying to figure out which heart valve is best for you by searching online and then looking for the cheapest surgeon to do the procedure. It wouldn’t be wise, right? Similarly, laser vision correction is a delicate surgery on your eyes. It’s crucial to trust professionals—eye surgeons who have specialized training in corneal transplantation and refractive surgery—to determine which procedure is right for your eyes.

We encourage you to book your Free Consultation with us. Our team of experienced MDs/PhDs will thoroughly assess your eyes, taking into account factors like safety, recovery time, dry eyes, prescription, and other specific needs. You can rely on our expertise to guide you towards the most suitable laser vision correction option for your vision and eye health.
