Service Details
What is it
A modern, entirely blade-free form of laser vision correction. A femtosecond laser creates the corneal flap with micron-level precision before the cornea is reshaped correcting short-sightedness, long-sightedness and astigmatism with fast visual recovery.
Suits you if
18+
stable prescription for 12 months
healthy eyes with adequate corneal thickness
not pregnant or breastfeeding
wanting less dependence on glasses or
contacts.
May not suit if
Very thin corneas, keratoconus
uncontrolled dry eye, or certain eye-health issues.
A consultation confirms this — we will always advise honestly if SMILE or a surface laser is safer.
Steps
Anaesthetic drops
femtosecond laser creates the flap
a second laser reshapes the cornea
the flap is repositioned without stitches; complete in minutes per eye.
Safety
Excellent safety profile.
the blade-free technique reduces flap-related risk.
Temporary dryness, light sensitivity or night glare can occur and usually settle within days to weeks.
All risks are discussed before you consent.
Recovery
Rest on the day (arrange a lift home)
most see clearly the next day at a follow up check
use drops as directed and avoid rubbing, swimming, sports, dust and makeup for 7–10 days.
