ZEISS SMILE PRO is a minimally invasive procedure that corrects nearsightedness and astigmatism in qualified patients. One of the things that patients love about ZEISS SMILE PRO is even if they aren't good LASIK candidates, they may still be good candidates for ZEISS SMILE PRO.
If you weren't a good LASIK candidate due to dry eyes, thin corneas, or having a prescription too strong for LASIK to treat, you might be better suited to ZEISS SMILE PRO instead. These factors won't stand in the way of getting ZEISS SMILE PRO or your dreams of sharp, clear vision without the constraints of visual aids.
Request an AppointmentZEISS SMILE PRO uses a ZEISS VISUMAX 800 femtosecond laser to reshape your cornea and correct refractive errors like nearsightedness and mild astigmatism. Thanks to the ZEISS VISUMAX 800 femtosecond laser, the procedure only takes 9 seconds to complete.
With the femtosecond laser, ZEISS SMILE PRO creates a small piece of tissue called a lenticule in the cornea. The lenticule is about the size of a contact lens, thicker in the center and thinner at its edge.
Creating the lenticule penetrates the cornea without disturbing its surface or nerves. Once the lenticule is made, your surgeon at Dell Laser Consultants will use the ZEISS VISUMAX 800 femtosecond laser to create a small incision that's 6 millimeters or less to remove the lenticule.
The lenticule is then removed from the layers of corneal tissue and extracted from the small incision. Removing the lenticule helps permanently reshape the cornea and correct your refractive errors.
The incision does not require any stitches or sutures and will heal on its own after a few days during the ZEISS SMILE PRO recovery process.

Request an Appointment Take Our ZEISS SMILE PRO Self-TestOn the day of your ZEISS SMILE PRO procedure, you'll need someone to drive you there and home, as your vision may be unstable or blurry. Many patients notice almost immediate visual improvements after ZEISS SMILE PRO, which will continue improving in the days after ZEISS SMILE PRO.
You may notice minimal discomfort, but you should be able to quickly return to your usual routine, including returning to work and driving the day after having ZEISS SMILE PRO. Once you return from having ZEISS SMILE PRO, one of the best things you can do is take a nap and rest your eyes.
Make sure to take all prescription eye drops as directed by your surgeon at Dell Laser Consultants to prevent infection and reduce inflammation. You'll also need to attend follow-up appointments beginning the day after having ZEISS SMILE PRO.
These appointments ensure your eyes are healing as they should. Although complications are extremely rare, follow-up appointments help ensure your eyes are healthy and you're seeing correctly.
Although ZEISS SMILE PRO and LASIK help correct vision, they are different. These procedures have several differences and are suited to other kinds of patients.
The first difference is that LASIK can correct all refractive errors, including nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. ZEISS SMILE PRO can only correct nearsightedness and astigmatism.
However, ZEISS SMILE PRO does not create a flap but a lenticule, which is removed to correct appropriate refractive errors. Being a flapless procedure makes the cornea more stable during ZEISS SMILE PRO.
This is important for patients who do not qualify for LASIK because the procedure requires removing a small amount of tissue from the cornea. However, the cornea is more stable with ZEISS SMILE PRO, making it better suited to patients with dry eyes. ZEISS SMILE PRO doesn't sever nerves in the cornea that may lead to dry eyes, which is a common side effect of having LASIK.
If you already have dry eyes or are nervous about developing dry eyes, ZEISS SMILE PRO is considered the better option. Another thing that sets ZEISS SMILE PRO apart from LASIK is that one laser is used during ZEISS SMILE PRO, compared to two.
ZEISS SMILE PRO is a state-of-the-art procedure that can change your life and offers numerous benefits if you want to improve your vision. These include:
ZEISS SMILE PRO is a minimally invasive procedure since it only requires a small incision in the cornea and removal of the lenticule to correct vision. Patients heal quickly and start experiencing sharper, more vibrant vision almost immediately.
If you're tired of the costs associated with visual aids, ZEISS SMILE PRO is the perfect way to invest in yourself. Dell Laser Consultants offers CareCredit to our patients to ensure that cost doesn't hinder achieving the vision you want.
Payment plans are affordable and flexible to fit your budget easily. Most patients pay off their ZEISS SMILE PRO procedure after only two years. After that point, you'll own your vision.
