You may not be aware that SMILE laser technology is the most significant breakthrough in laser eye surgery for over ten years!
Now those who have in the past been considered unsuitable for Lasik may in fact have a safe alternative for improving their vision.
SMILE laser technology is a minimally invasive option for those with myopia (near sightedness) and/or astigmatism (a defect in the cornea resulting in blurred vision) Completely Different to LASIK or PRK, SMILE reshapes the cornea from within using keyhole technology and avoids having to create a flap. For this reason some people previously told that laser eye surgery would not be an option for them, should take the opportunity to be reassessed for SMILE.
SMILE is a one step, one laser procedure which only takes 25 seconds per eye and because of the advanced keyhole technique used you can be back to action the very next day!
Learn more about SMILE laser surgery or book a free assessment to find out if you are suitable.
Why wait? You could be living life in high definition before you know it.
