Then, we have a permanent solution for you- Laser eye surgery is the solution to all your problems. These advanced procedures reduce your dependency on eyeglasses and contact lenses, thereby improving your quality of life. They permanently correct your refractive errors like myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism (abnormal curvature of the cornea), and presbyopia (the condition where your eye loses its ability to focus on nearby objects). Currently, various laser-assisted eye surgeries to correct your vision are safe and are minimally invasive (cause less trauma to the surrounding structures). One such popular procedure is SMILE eye surgery, a new alternative to the already popular LASIK (Laser-Assisted in situ Keratomileusis) procedure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read on to explore further about this revolutionary vision correction procedure.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><b>What is SMILE Eye Surgery?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) is the most advanced laser refractive surgery that permanently corrects your vision. Refractive errors are vision problems that make it hard to see clearly from different distances. These errors occur due to the abnormal shape of your cornea that keeps light from correctly focusing images on the retina (a light-sensitive tissue layer at the back of your eye).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SMILE surgery is performed using a \u2018Femtosecond laser\u2019, which creates a small lenticule (a disc-shaped piece of cornea below the surface of your eye) in your cornea. This is later extracted through a small incision (cut) made using the laser, and the desired refractive change is achieved once this lenticule is extracted that reshapes the cornea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6399\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-revamp.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/31044805\/cataract-1024x1024-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"330\" height=\"220\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>What are the Advantages of SMILE Surgery?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SMILE refractive surgery is a laser-assisted procedure and gaining immense popularity among today\u2019s youth, which is opted due to the following advantages:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Minimally invasive procedure<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The SMILE procedure causes less damage to the surrounding structures of your eye.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The incisions are small ranging between 2 to 3 mm, hence only few corneal nerves are damaged.
