Revolutionary Technology Meets Precision
The Smile Pro is not just an innovation—it’s a leap forward in laser vision correction. Powered by the genius of Artificial Intelligence and supported by an extensive algorithmic database of 8 million eyes, this technology offers unprecedented precision and personalization.
Tailored for professionals and individuals with extensive screen exposure—often exceeding 5 hours daily—Smile Pro stands as the epitome of modern vision treatment designed to meet the demands of a digitally dominated lifestyle.
The Visionary Behind the Vision
Smile Pro was introduced by the esteemed Carl-Zeiss back in January 2023, marking an upgrade over the formerly established SMILE technology of 2016. This evolution is a testament to the relentless pursuit of eye care innovation, merging the best of technology with a genuine impact on individuals’ lives.
The Technology: The ZEISS Visumax 800
Smile Pro utilizes the US FDA-approved Visumax 800 from ZEISS, a next-generation femtosecond laser system, distinguished for its award-winning interface design which ensures intuitive and efficient interaction.
This system operates on the principles of Chirped Pulse Amplification (CPA) technology, a Nobel Prize-winning breakthrough in Physics, awarded to Arthur Ashkin and Donna Strickland in 2018.
Surgeons benefit from quicker treatment processes, augmented flexibility, and workflow enhancements. The Visumax-800 harnesses digital mapping to accurately target treatments to the specific orientation of each eye.
The equipment’s smaller footprint and compatibility with various patient beds make it a perfect fit for diverse clinical settings, ensuring the delivery of top-notch technology without compromise.
Benefits of Visumax 800
Enhanced Surgeon Experience
The Visumax 800 enhances the surgeon’s experience with features such as OcuLign for cyclotorsion alignment, offering superior control, and CentraLign for aiding in precise centration. These features work together to ensure flawless alignment and centring during the docking phase.
VISULYZE User Nomogram
The integrated software is designed to optimize patient outcomes through comprehensive data collection and analysis, enabling the creation of customized nomograms for each surgery.
Visual Aids Centre has successfully integrated the advanced VISUMAX 800 SMILE Pro femtosecond laser system, elevating surgical precision. Feel assured as you opt for vision correction surgery with us.
Indication Range
Smile Pro is meticulously designed to correct refractive errors from mild to high levels:
Myopia (nearsightedness) ranging from -0.50 to -10.00 D (diopters)
Astigmatism up to 5.00 D
Spherical equivalent refractions stretching from a minimal -0.50 to a significant -12.50 D
Is SMILE Pro Eye Surgery Available Everywhere?
SMILE Pro is not something you can find available at every eye care centre. Its specialized approach requires state-of-the-art technology and highly skilled practitioners.
Currently, in Delhi, this elite procedure is exclusively performed using the Carl ZEISS Visumax 800 Femtosecond laser at the Visual Aids Centre. By choosing our centre, patients gain access to a pioneer in SMILE Pro technology and undergo treatment in a facility devoted to delivering the highest standards of eye care.
How Does Smile Pro Eye Surgery Work?
At the heart of Smile Pro Eye Surgery is a remarkable principle known as Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE).
This is not just any surgery – it’s a transformation performed by the world’s first fully Robotic AI-based Visumax 800 femtosecond laser that surpasses PRK and LASIK, setting a new standard for refractive surgery.
Imagine fine-tuning the focal length of your eyeball with such accuracy that it syncs perfectly with predetermined software.
During the procedure, a highly calibrated laser creates a Lenticule—a remarkably thin layer akin to a strand of hair—which is then delicately removed through an incision. This process corrects the refractive error, all the while preserving the integrity of the eye’s surface and bringing the world into focus.
Anticipate safer, more precise, gentler, and accurate results — now more comfortable than ever.
Smile Pro Eye Surgery Advantages Are Clear
Minimally Invasive Procedure
One of SMILE Pro’s most celebrated features is its minimally invasive approach.
Unlike conventional methods that can be more intrusive, Smile Pro gently reshapes the cornea using the most delicate touch, leaving the structural integrity of the eye virtually untouched.
Exceptional Speed and Accuracy
Time is central to modern life, and with the Visumax 800 laser, lenticule creation per eye is astonishingly rapid – merely 9 seconds thanks to a blazingly faster laser pulse repetition rate of 2 MHz.
The integration of SMART Robotics minimizes human error, delivering flawless precision at a microscopic scale.
This blend of speed, accuracy and shorter suction time reduces stress for both surgeon and patient, ensuring the procedure is completed before the blink of an eye.
Swift and Uncomplicated Recovery
With Smile Pro, recovery is as impressive as the treatment itself.
The minimalistic approach fosters a rapid recovery, with many returning to their normal routines in just 24 hours post-procedure.
Also, the discomfort felt during the healing process is minor as well. This means less downtime from your work and passions, and more time enjoying your enhanced eyesight.
Reduced Risk of Complications
Due to the femtosecond laser’s ability to pass harmlessly through the cornea’s upper layers, Smile Pro minimizes side effects such as dry eye syndrome, infection, and epithelial ingrowth.
Preserved Corneal Integrity
The unique technique of Smile Pro ensures the preservation of corneal biomechanical strength and stability, safeguarding the eye’s natural fortitude and resilience.
FDA-Approved and Safe
The SMILE Pro’s laser is not only approved by the FDA but has delighted millions of patients across the globe, boasting an impressive satisfaction rate and a negligible incidence of complications.
Comfort and Ease
Imagine undergoing a medical procedure free of anxiety.
The Smile Pro surgery achieves this with an ambient, luminous surface that reduces feelings of claustrophobia and a tranquil environment devoid of alarming noises or odours.
Remarkable Reduction in Inflammation
The Visumax 800 laser operates with energy levels significantly lower than those of its predecessors, diminishing inflammation prospects to an almost non-existent level.
SMILE Pro Is Ideal For Those Who….
Seek a bladeless and flapless surgery that is minimally invasive and virtually pain-free
Desire a procedure with less postoperative discomfort
Experience claustrophobia or anxiety, needing a stress-free surgical environment
Wish to retain as much of their original corneal strength as possible
Aim to preserve corneal nerves, maintaining more natural eye integrity
Look for a treatment that assures a low percentage of retreatment with proven predictability
Expect a faster recovery
Need an alternative due to ASA or LASIK not being suitable for them
Have specific conditions like dry eyes or contact lens intolerance
Have active occupational or lifestyle needs.

The Step-by-Step Journey to Enhanced Vision
Smile Pro runs on a femtosecond laser. This near-infrared laser is meticulously designed to deliver extremely short pulses (within a few femtoseconds of time), creating pinpoint precision cuts or planes in the cornea without affecting adjacent tissues.
Treatment Planning
With Smile Pro, every single detail of your unique visual profile is considered.
The treatment planning involves meticulous data entry of the refractive error to be corrected and lenticule parameters, ensuring that SMILE Pro precalculates all necessary intracorneal cuts for optimal vision correction.
Numbing the Eye
Comfort is key during eye surgery. To this end, anaesthesia drops are administered to numb the eye.
An eyelid holder prevents any blinking during the procedure, leaving no room for the slightest disturbance.
Lenticule Creation
Precision is paramount in the SMILE Pro procedure.
Once your eye is numb and immobilized with a contact glass, the femtosecond laser gets to work. You may feel mild pressure as the computer-controlled laser pulses create a small lens-shaped piece of corneal tissue (lenticule) within the stroma (an inner sub-layer of the cornea). The size and shape of the lenticule are tailored to match the amount of tissue needed for correcting your vision issue.
This process doesn’t involve cutting or harm to the surface layers, and there’s no need to switch equipment during treatment.
Incision Creation
Simultaneous with lenticule creation, a minuscule incision of 2-4 mm is made. This incision is 1/3 smaller than that of Femto-LASIK treatments. This is performed almost independently of the surrounding and corneal conditions.
As the lenticule and access incision are crafted together, there is no need to allocate a margin of tolerance.
Lenticule Extraction
The essence of the SMILE Pro technique culminates in the extraction of the lenticule through the incision. The surgeon performs this step with the utmost care, reshaping the cornea and correcting the refractive error. Remarkably, this is achieved without creating a corneal flap, and the tiny incision heals naturally over time.
During the procedure, you can stay comfortably in one spot without having to move around. The process flows seamlessly, moving from one step to the next with consistent positioning throughout while ensuring the entire procedure is completed in a single treatment session.
