What is NEW SMILE LASIK?

The most developed and least invasive laser eye surgery for vision correction 

Small Incision Lenticule Extraction with NEW SMILE is the most recently developed type of laser eye surgery using SCHIWIND ATOS. It’s a minimally invasive procedure that can correct various vision impairments such as nearsightedness and astigmatism.

Benefits At A Glance

1. Minimally Invasive: NEW SMILE LASIK requires a smaller incision compared to traditional SMILE LASIK, which means less disruption to the cornea. This can result in a lower risk of complications, such as dry eyes and reduced corneal sensitivity.

2. Flap-Free Procedure: Unlike traditional SMILE LASIK, NEW SMILE LASIK does not involve creating a corneal flap. This eliminates the risk of flap-related issues and can lead to a more stable corneal structure.

3. Quick Recovery: Patients typically experience a faster visual recovery with NEW SMILE LASIK because there is no corneal flap to heal. Most individuals can return to their normal activities within a short period.

4. Reduced Dry Eye Symptoms: Some studies suggest that NEW SMILE LASIK may result in fewer dry eye symptoms compared to traditional SMILE LASIK, making it a better option for people with pre-existing dry eye conditions.

5. Enhanced Stability: NEW SMILE LASIK may provide enhanced biomechanical stability to the cornea because it preserves more of the corneal tissue's structural integrity.

6. Predictable Results: NEW SMILE LASIK has been shown to provide predictable and accurate vision correction outcomes for myopia and astigmatism.

7. Contact Sports and Eye Rubbing: NEW SMILE LASIK may be a better choice for individuals who participate in contact sports or have jobs or hobbies that involve a higher risk of eye trauma, as there is no corneal flap that could dislodge.
