For decades, people with vision problems relied on wearing glasses or contact lenses as their primary refractive solution. Eventually procedures like LASIK changed the landscape for eye care specialists addressing refractive errors. Now, a new revolution has arrived at SMILE Pro Eye Surgery in Coimbatore. This minimally invasive and next generation procedure is about speed, safety, and precision.
If you've been searching for a permanent way to ditch your glasses or contact lenses, this next-generation laser surgery could be the solution. Let’s explore how SMILE Pro is changing the future of vision correction and why it appears to be the preferred treatment option for patients and surgeons alike.
What is SMILE Pro Eye Surgery?
SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) Pro is the latest promising option in laser vision correction. It’s important to note that with traditional LASIK, we make a corneal flap prior to correcting vision, whereas with SMILE Pro, we are only making a small keyhole incision with a femtosecond laser. This small opening allows us to extract a tiny piece of corneal tissue (lenticule), effectively shaping the cornea to correct for refractive errors.
This update to the original SMILE, SMILE Pro, also offers faster treatment options, better precision, and a more comfortable procedure for the patient than the initial previous SMILE mode
Key Benefits of SMILE Pro
- Minimally Invasive Procedure
With only a 2 mm incision, SMILE Pro is much less invasive than LASIK and a mere fraction of the corneal flap, which is 20 mm. Less trauma means a faster recovery. - Faster and Safer
The whole procedure includes less than 10 seconds of laser time. Thus, it is one of the fastest vision correction surgeries. In turn, this minimizes the treatment time, and thus, the chance of complications. - Stable and Long-Lasting Results
All of our patients can expect long-lasting vision correction that minimally regresses because the cornea is left better and stronger and, thus, more stable. - Quick Recovery
Most patients will have an improvement in vision in 24 hours and would be returning to work or back to their regular activities in just a couple of days. - No Flap Complications
At no point in the procedure is there a corneal flap. So the possibility of flap issues (dislocation, infection, etc.) is 100% avoided.
Who Can Benefit from SMILE Pro?
SMILE Pro is an ideal solution for people suffering from:
- Myopia (Nearsightedness) – Poor vision at distance.
- Astigmatism – Blurred or distorted vision due to the cornea having an unequal shape.
- Active Lifestyles – Particularly useful for athletes, military members or people in occupations that require physical activity exposure with flap-related risk.
In Coimbatore, if you are over 18 years of age, have stable eye power for at least one year, and have overall good health, you may be suitable for SMILE Pro Eye Surgery.
How Does the Procedure Work?
The surgery is simple, painless, and performed under topical anesthesia (numbing eye drops).
- Step 1 – Laser Creation
The femtosecond laser creates a thin lenticule within the cornea as well as a small incision. - Step 2 – Removal
Then the surgeon removes the lenticule through the small incision reshaping the cornea so that it can now see properly. - Step 3 – Recovery
The incision heals naturally without stitches so the recovery is quick, easy and there is no discomfort.
Most patients notice a significant change in their vision the very next day.

Comparing SMILE Pro with LASIK and PRK
- LASIK – LASIK is incredibly popular but it requires a corneal flap which generally has an increased risk for dry eyes and corneal flap complications.
- PRK – PRK is also effective, but the waiting time for recovery is increased when compared to SMILE Pro and generally requires more discomfort on the patients part.
- SMILE Pro – SMILE Pro combines the best characteristics of LASIK and PRK. It is less invasive than both options, there is fast recovery with a short wait-time and comparatively less discomfort to the overall procedure because of flap free technology.
This makes SMILE Pro one of the safest and most advanced procedures available today.

- Crystal clear vision typically within 24-48 hours
- Little or no discomfort following surgery
- The ability to return to one's routine, lifestyle, or daily routine quickly with no extra strain on the eyes

The foregoing outcomes have made SMILE Pro the preferred choice for young, working professionals, students, and active working adults who not only desire convenience but who also want dependable sustained results into the future with little guidance just like in leisure sporting or in life.
