SMILE surgery (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) is one of the most advanced forms of laser vision correction available today. It is a minimally invasive, flapless laser eye surgery designed to correct refractive errors with high precision and faster recovery. At Mahajan Eye Centre, we offer world-class SMILE eye surgery in Delhi using the latest Zeiss VisuMax femtosecond laser technology.
What is SMILE Surgery?
SMILE refractive surgery is a modern laser vision correction procedure where a small lenticule is created inside the cornea using a femtosecond laser and removed through a tiny incision. Unlike LASIK, SMILE is a flapless laser surgery, making it a safer and more stable option for many patients.
This advanced lenticule extraction surgery reshapes the cornea to improve vision and reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
Vision Problems Treated with SMILE Surgery
SMILE surgery is highly effective for correcting:
Myopia (nearsightedness)
Astigmatism
Combined refractive errors
It is especially suitable for patients with thin corneas, active lifestyles, or those at higher risk of dry eyes.
Advanced SMILE Technology at Mahajan Eye Centre
At Mahajan Eye Centre, SMILE surgery is performed using the Zeiss VisuMax SMILE laser, a globally trusted and FDA-approved platform. This single-laser procedure ensures:
High accuracy
Minimal tissue disruption
Superior safety and predictability
Our surgeons use advanced diagnostic tools to assess corneal thickness, eye health, and refractive error, ensuring precise and personalized treatment.
Benefits of SMILE Laser Vision Correction
Choosing SMILE laser vision correction offers multiple advantages:
Flapless procedure with a very small incision
Minimally invasive eye surgery
Faster healing and quicker visual recovery
Lower risk of dry eye symptoms
Reduced flap-related complications
Excellent visual outcomes
Comfortable and stress-free experience
Early return to normal activities
Because SMILE preserves corneal strength, it is often preferred for patients with physically active or outdoor lifestyles.
SMILE vs LASIK vs PRK
When comparing SMILE vs LASIK vs PRK, SMILE stands out for its safety and comfort:
No corneal flap (unlike LASIK)
Less surface disruption (compared to PRK)
Lower incidence of dry eyes
Faster functional vision recovery
This makes SMILE one of the best laser eye surgery options for suitable candidates.
Who is an Ideal Candidate for SMILE Surgery?
You may be a good candidate for SMILE eye surgery if:
You have stable myopia (up to -10.00 D)
Astigmatism is within treatable limits (up to -5.00 D)
You have adequate corneal thickness
Your overall eye health is good
A detailed eye evaluation helps determine SMILE surgery eligibility and the most appropriate treatment plan.
SMILE Surgery Procedure: What to Expect
The SMILE surgery process is quick and efficient:
The procedure takes around 10–15 minutes
Performed under topical anesthesia
No stitches or bandages required
Minimal discomfort during and after surgery
Most patients experience noticeable vision improvement within 24 hours.
Post-SMILE Recovery and Care
Post-SMILE recovery is smooth and comfortable:
Mild irritation may occur for a short time
Vision stabilizes quickly
Normal daily activities can resume within a few days
Regular follow-ups ensure long-term success
Proper post-operative care plays a key role in achieving excellent and stable visual results.
