SMILE FAQ
Key differences, recovery timelines, sports safety, dryness, and costs—no fluff.
Who is a good candidate for SMILE?
Myopia with or without astigmatism, stable Rx, healthy cornea, and realistic goals. Final call after scans.
How fast is recovery?
Often next-day desk work. Sports, swimming, and makeup follow a written schedule.
Dry eyes vs LASIK?
SMILE’s keyhole entry may reduce nerve disruption. We still treat dryness aggressively.
Night halos/glare?
Common early. Usually improve. We manage with optical zone planning and drops.
Good for contact sports?
Often preferred due to no flap. Return-to-play timing is procedure-specific.
