Advancements in vision correction have led to modern LASIK surgery alternatives, including Zeiss SMILE, a leading-edge procedure for correcting myopia (nearsightedness) with or without astigmatism. Monson Vision in Logan, Utah is proud to provide this revolutionary treatment, ensuring our patients benefit from the latest advancements in eye care.
What is Zeiss SMILE?
Zeiss SMILE is an advanced refractive eye surgery designed to correct myopia (nearsightedness) with or without astigmatism. Using the Zeiss femtosecond laser, your surgeon can now correct visual prescriptions with this minimally invasive, flapless, and bladeless procedure. SMILE uses laser precision technology to create a small incision in the cornea to extract a thin, lens-shaped piece of tissue (a “lenticule”), which corrects the patient’s vision.
SMILE was developed by Zeiss, a global leader in optical technology and known for precision, safety, and effectiveness. The results of SMILE represent a significant leap forward in vision restoration.
Benefits of Zeiss SMILE
1. Minimally Invasive
The small incision (only 2-4mm) of Zeiss SMILE reduces corneal nerve disruption and promotes faster healing.
2. Enhanced Safety and Precision
Zeiss SMILE utilizes advanced laser technology that ensures accurate incisions and lenticule removal. The precision of SMILE leads to superior visual outcomes and safety.
3. Comfort and Convenience
High levels of comfort are reported by patients during and after Zeiss SMILE. The minimal incision results in less postoperative discomfort and a quicker recovery time. Most patients are able to resume their normal activities within a day or two, making it a convenient option for those with busy lifestyles.
4. Broad Suitability
Zeiss SMILE is suitable for a wide range of patients, including those with higher levels of myopia and astigmatism as well as individuals with thin corneas, who may not be candidates for LASIK surgery.
5. Long-lasting Results
The outcomes of Zeiss SMILE are long lasting and comparable to LASIK. Patients can expect significant improvements in their vision, with many achieving 20/20 vision or better. Zeiss SMILE is helping more people achieve clear, unaided vision.
