SMILE Pro 2.0
SMILE Pro 2.0 is the latest generation of lenticule extraction. A minimally invasive laser vision correction procedure offered by Dr Ikmal.
If you are heavily dependent on glasses or contact lenses for daily tasks, you may be wondering if laser vision correction is a safe, minimally invasive option for you.
What is it?
SMILE Pro 2.0 is a flapless laser vision correction procedure. I use the ZEISS VISUMAX 800 femtosecond laser to correct myopia and astigmatism.
Where does it work?
How does it work?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic drops and is generally painless. The laser delivery takes less than 10 seconds per eye.
Who may consider it?
During your assessment, I will use topography to map the exact shape and thickness of your cornea. I will check that your cornea is healthy and strong enough for the procedure. This procedure may be considered for patients with myopia and astigmatism who desire a flapless approach, including those involved in contact sports. SMILE Pro may not be suitable if you have hyperopia (long-sightedness), severe dry eye, or an irregular cornea.

Risks & limitations
Considerations and Limitations
Risks include temporary dry eye, under-correction or over-correction, and visual halos at night. These generally improve as the eye heals.
