SMILE: Advanced, State-of-the-Art Laser Eye Surgery

SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) eye surgery is the latest achievement in laser vision correction and is also the fastest-growing laser vision correction. Over 8,000,000 SMILE laser eye surgery procedures have been performed over the past decade worldwide. Kelly Vision Center is a pioneer of this technology, being one of only a few vision centers in the Northeast to use the procedure to customize your vision correction procedure.

How Does SMILE Laser Eye Surgery Work? *Get $1,000 Off For a Limited Time

In a normal eye, the cornea and lens bend (refract) light so that the light lands properly on the retina, resulting in clear images being transmitted to the brain. When an eye is nearsighted, it’s slightly too long or steeply curved, which affects the focusing power of the cornea and lens. This causes light to focus on a point in front of the retina as opposed to directly on its surface, which results in blurry vision when viewing objects at a distance. In the past, the best way to correct nearsightedness was with laser procedures like LASIK, which require the surgeon to make a corneal flap. By contrast, SMILE laser eye surgery uses an ultra-fast femtosecond laser to precisely modify the shape of the cornea from the inside. SMILE is approved by the FDA to treat both nearsightedness and astigmatism.

What Makes SMILE LASIK Surgery Different from Traditional LASIK?

During LASIK, a small flap is made on the surface of the eye, and the laser then re-shapes the cornea. This corrects the refractive error, and the flap is then lowered so it can heal. With SMILE laser eye surgery, no flap is made. Instead, a laser is used to create a very precise, lens-shaped portion of tissue within the cornea and a small-incision opening. Next, the portion of tissue is removed through the micro-incision. The cornea then settles into the shape needed to accurately focus light onto the retina. During a free consultation, Dr. Kelly will help you determine which option is best for your eyes.

“Got SMILE LASIK surgery with Dr. Kelly about six weeks ago. Everything from the checkups to the procedure was pleasant, and the staff made sure I was well informed on the operation and post op care. Was able to see perfect the next day, and all symptoms (including dry eye) were gone within 72 hours, with the exception of mild light sensitivity which lasted a few weeks. I now have 20/15 vision and would recommend Dr. Kelly and the SMILE operation to anyone looking to have their vision corrected.”
