SMILE Pro & LASIK: The Next Generation of Vision Correction in Jalandhar
In today’s fast-paced world, clear vision is essential for both work and lifestyle. For many people, glasses and contact lenses are inconvenient, uncomfortable, or limiting. This is where advanced vision correction surgeries like SMILE Pro and LASIK come in, providing safe and lasting solutions. In Jalandhar, eye hospitals are now equipped with the latest technology to make these treatments accessible to patients seeking freedom from spectacles.
What is LASIK?
LASIK (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis) is one of the most widely performed eye surgeries worldwide. It works by reshaping the cornea with an excimer laser, correcting refractive errors such as:
- Myopia (Nearsightedness)
- Hyperopia (Farsightedness)
- Astigmatism
The procedure is quick, painless, and allows patients to return to normal life within a few days. Many experience improved vision almost immediately after surgery.
Introducing SMILE Pro: A Step Ahead
SMILE Pro (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction Pro) is the latest innovation in laser eye surgery. Unlike LASIK, it is a flapless and bladeless procedure performed through a tiny 2 mm incision. A femtosecond laser removes a small disc-shaped piece of corneal tissue (lenticule) to correct vision.
Benefits of SMILE Pro include:
- Faster recovery time
- Minimal discomfort
- Reduced risk of dry eyes
- Higher corneal stability
- No flap-related complications
This makes SMILE Pro especially suitable for people with active lifestyles, athletes, or those seeking the most advanced, minimally invasive eye surgery.
Who is Eligible?
Not everyone is the same candidate for both LASIK and SMILE Pro. Doctors usually recommend based on:
- Age (typically above 18 years)
- Stable eye power for at least a year
- Healthy cornea thickness
- Absence of eye diseases like glaucoma or cataracts
A detailed consultation and eye scan are necessary before deciding the best option.
