SMILE PRO

AI BASED ROBOTIC LASER

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 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.
