SMall Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE-Pro)
In 2021, our centre introduced SMILE-Pro, the most advanced technology in vision correction. We were the first refractive surgery centre in Asia and the third in the world to adopt this cutting-edge technology. As a minimally invasive vision correction procedure, it uses femtosecond laser technology to cut a lenticule (a piece of cornea tissue) from the cornea. The new generation SMILE-Pro includes new features such as visual axis-assisted navigation and astigmatism axis navigation, greatly enhancing surgical efficiency, accuracy and quality of vision.
Our clinical results have shown that three months after undergoing the SMILE-Pro procedure, 96% of eyes achieved a naked-eye visual acuity of 20/20 or better. In terms of postoperative myopia/hyperopia, 94% of eyes had levels of ±0.75 dioptres or less, demonstrating very favourable outcomes. (In general, myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism of 75 degrees or below will not affect distance vision).
SMILE-Pro involves two major steps: creating the lenticule and then extracting it through a small incision. Femtosecond laser is used to create a thin tissue (lenticule) within the cornea, which is then extracted through a small corneal incision made by the same laser. The corneal curvature, and thus the refractive power, is changed after the tissue is removed, thus reducing refractive error in a very accurate and safe fashion.
