SMILE Eye Surgery is a type of refractive eye surgery that is done to correct the shape of the cornea. It is done by using a laser to reshape the cornea so that it will be able to focus light better.
The first SMILE surgery was performed in India in 2006 by Dr. Deepak Pandya and Dr. Manish Patel, and since then it has been used all over the world.
The procedure takes about 15 minutes and can be done on both adults and children from 8 years old up to 18 years old, but there are some restrictions depending on age, weight, height, eye pressure and other factors.
What Types of Enlargement Do You Choose for the Procedure?
The best type of enlargement for the procedure depends on the individual.
Scleral lenses are the most common type of enlargement for eye surgeries. They come in many different shapes, sizes and colors and can be made from different materials. The lens is inserted into a pocket created in the white part of the eyeball, which is called the scleral canal. Scleral lenses are generally easier to insert than corneal inlays or scleral contact lenses, but they can be more difficult to remove and may require a longer recovery time after surgery.
Corneal inlays are small pieces of clear material that are placed on top of your cornea during surgery to help with your vision correction. Inlays can be made from different materials such as acrylic and can be used for a variety of different tasks.
