SMILE LASER SURGERY
SMILE LASER SURGERY in TURKEY
SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) is a minimally invasive laser vision correction procedure designed to treat refractive errors such as myopia and astigmatism.
Unlike traditional LASIK, SMILE does not require the creation of a corneal flap. Instead, a small piece of corneal tissue is removed through a tiny incision, preserving the natural structure of the cornea and supporting faster healing.
By collaborating with accredited clinics in Turkey, we help patients access advanced SMILE laser treatments using modern technologies and experienced specialists, ensuring safe and personalized care.
Who Can Have SMILE Laser?
SMILE laser may be considered for individuals who wish to improve their vision with a minimally invasive approach.
The procedure is generally suitable for:
•Individuals over the age of 18
•Those with stable vision for at least one year
•People with myopia and astigmatism within suitable ranges
•Individuals with adequate corneal thickness
•Those without serious eye conditions or uncontrolled systemic diseases
How the Treatment Is Planned
The process begins with a comprehensive eye examination to evaluate vision levels, corneal structure, and overall eye health.
Based on these results, the suitability for SMILE laser is determined, and the procedure is performed by experienced specialists in accredited clinics.
Advanced laser technologies are used to ensure high precision and personalized treatment planning.
After the procedure, patients are supported with follow-up care and guidance to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal visual outcomes.
What to Expect During SMILE Laser
During SMILE laser treatment, a femtosecond laser creates a small lenticule inside the cornea, which is then removed through a tiny incision.
The procedure is quick and comfortable, typically completed within minutes for each eye.
Patients do not feel pain during the procedure, as numbing eye drops are applied. Mild discomfort, dryness, or light sensitivity may occur temporarily after treatment.
Most patients experience rapid visual improvement within a short time.
