SMILE PRO

AI BASED ROBOTIC LASER

smile banner 480x320

Visual Aids Centre is delighted to introduce a truly Futuristic and a Revolutionary Laser Vision Correction technology driven by Artificial Intelligence and Algorithm support of 8 million eyes.

SMILE PRO is a first of its kind fully Robotic Laser tailored for professionals with screen time of more than 5 hours a day.

How does it work?

Small Incision Lenticule Extraction

The focal length of the eye ball is adjusted as per a pre determined software by a Robotic AI driven laser. This laser creates a Lenticule (a thin hair like layer) which is removed and the refractive error is corrected leaving the surface of the eye untouched. As compared to other Laser Vision Correction procedures, there are minimum to no side effects and the overall recovery is much quicker.

Introduced by Carl-Zeiss in January 2023, SMILE PRO is a upgraded laser platform of the previously existing SMILE which was introduced in 2016.

SMILE PRO noble

SMILE PRO uses the CPA (Chirped Pulse Amplification) technology for which Arthur Askin and Donna Stickland have been awarded Nobel Prize in Physics 2018.

Advantages of SMILE PRO Eye Surgery

The cornea surface is left untouched, preserving its biomechanical strength and stability better than other techniques.

Inflammation is reduced to negligible as the total laser energy used is up to 50 times lesser than an excimer laser.

Likeliness of dry eyes is significantly lowered, since no flap is created.

There is no use of surgical cutting instruments and involves no change of equipment during the treatment.

The entire process takes place in one easy step with unmatched precision for an excellent visual outcome.

Since this procedure is minimally invasive, it involves minimum intervention and therefore less after care is required, enabling you to enjoy your new visual sensation right from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions

24 hours is the recovery time after SMILE PRO.

You can resume work 2 hours after the procedure.

There will be three post-op check ups, one day, one week and one month after the procedure.

No physical contact with the eyes whatsoever, No splashing of water in the eyes, No eye make up and No swimming, all of these for a period of 7 days.

SMILE PRO is the most expensive Laser Vision Correction procedure priced at INR 1,50,000/- for both eyes.

SMILE PRO is the next generation SMILE and is the worlds first Ai driven Robotic Laser.

The main two disadvantages of SMILE PRO is that this procedure is not suited for thinner corneas and for prescriptions less than -1D and it is an expensive procedure.

If you are a suitable candidate for SMILE PRO, there are no major disadvantages apart from mild temporary dryness.

1 in 1000 eye regresses which means that 0.5-0.75 number may come back usually seen in high myopes (more than -6D)

SMILE PRO is a flap-less and blade-less procedure and there are advantages over other procedures provided your eye scan is suitable for it.

I traveled to India from U.S specifically for refractive surgery at Visual Aids Centre, and the experience completely exceeded my expectations. I originally went in dead-set on getting WaveLight Plus (custom LASIK) based on my own research. However, after detailed scans (cornea thickness of 574, myopia around -2.9, and minor astigmatism), the doctor took the time to explain why SMILE Pro was actually the safer option for me. Because I already experience mild dry eyes, he advised against a flap-based procedure, noting that SMILE Pro would deliver the same perfect results without risking permanent dry eye or flap complications. I highly appreciated his honesty and patient-first approach rather than just performing the surgery I initially asked for. The SMILE Pro procedure itself was completely painless, fascinating, and finished in under 20 minutes. What truly set this clinic apart, however, was their outstanding hospitality. As a traveling patient, having a dedicated staff member on call for me to reach out to in case of any emergencies during my first few days of recovery provided incredible peace of mind. The recovery followed exactly what they promised. After some initial fogginess on day one, I went back to my hotel, followed my strict drop schedule, and rested. By my final check-up before flying home, I was already reading the 1.2 and half of the 1.5 lines on their acuity chart (roughly 20/13.5 vision). My eyes are still finishing their final 35% of internal healing on a tapered steroid drop schedule, but I am already seeing significantly better than I ever did with glasses. Highly recommend this center and their team if you are considering flapless laser eye correction. Shout out to the doctor who performed my surgery; you were the best!’
