SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) is a minimally invasive laser vision correction surgery for myopia and astigmatism. Unlike traditional LASIK, SMILE does not require the creation of a corneal flap. Instead, a small incision is made, and a thin layer of tissue is removed from the cornea, reshaping it to correct vision. The procedure is quick, offers faster recovery, and maintains corneal stability, making it a preferred option for patients with dry eyes or those engaged in active lifestyles.
