CLEAR Smile

Minimally invasive laser vision correction with small incision and fast recovery. Perfect for active lifestyles.

What is this?

CLEAR Smile, also known as SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction), represents a revolutionary advancement in laser vision correction. Unlike traditional LASIK which creates a large flap, CLEAR Smile uses only a tiny 2-4mm opening. The procedure removes a small lens-shaped piece of tissue from within the cornea through this minimal incision, correcting your vision with unprecedented gentleness.

Benefits

No Flap = Enhanced Safety - Without creating a large flap, the cornea maintains more structural integrity

Less Dry Eye - The small incision preserves more corneal nerves, significantly reducing post-operative dry eye

Faster Recovery - Most patients experience clear vision within 24 hours with minimal discomfort

Biomechanically Superior - Preserving corneal strength makes this safest for thin corneas and contact sports

Minimally Invasive - Only a 2-4mm incision that self-seals without stitches

How It Works

Numbing Drops: We apply anesthetic drops to ensure you are completely comfortable. You will be awake but feel no pain.

Lenticule Creation: The femtosecond laser creates a tiny lens-shaped piece of tissue within your cornea in about 25 seconds.

Small Incision: A tiny 2-4mm opening is made, preserving corneal structure and nerve function.

Lenticule Removal: Your surgeon gently removes the lenticule through the small opening. The incision self-seals without stitches.

Instant Results: The entire procedure takes about 10 minutes per eye. Most patients see clearly within 24 hours.

CLEAR Smile has an excellent safety profile. Temporary side effects include mild dry eye, light sensitivity, and minor visual fluctuations. Because no flap is created, flap-related complications are impossible. Very rare risks include infection, undercorrection requiring enhancement, or temporary halos. Our advanced technology and experienced surgeons minimize these risks.
