7th-generation SILK SMILE — correcting myopia and astigmatism through a small incision, by university-hospital-trained surgeons.
What is SMILE?
SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) corrects nearsightedness and astigmatism through a small corneal incision, without the larger flap used in traditional LASIK. We perform the 7th-generation SILK SMILE procedure using J&J’s ELITA system, with an incision of about 2 mm.
Who may be a candidate?
People with myopia and/or astigmatism who want a minimally invasive option. Suitability — and the right procedure for you — is always determined after a thorough eye examination.

FAQ

- Yes — 24/7 via our multilingual chat.
- How long does the surgery take?
- The procedure itself is short; total time at the clinic on the day is longer due to preparation and post-surgery rest.
- What examinations are needed first?
- Corneal thickness, refraction, eye pressure, and a fundus check, among others. Stop wearing contact lenses before the exam (soft lenses about 1 week; longer for hard/ortho-k).
