What does SmartSurf treat?
SmartSurf treatment at the Lasik Surgery Clinic is a procedure designed to correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness or myopia, farsightedness or hyperopia, and astigmatism.
Most especially, SmartSurf may be suitable if you have dry eyes or thin corneas, for which LASIK, PRK, and other refractive procedures may not be recommended.
SmartSurf offers excellent results and improved vision to those seeking permanent vision correction and to be completely free from prescription glasses or contact lenses.
SmartSurf, or Trans-Epithelial Photorefractive Keratectomy, is the most advanced technology in the PRK procedure. It is a laser eye surgery that reshapes the cornea to improve vision.
Unlike traditional PRK, where the epithelial layer of the cornea is removed manually, SmartSurf utilizes a laser to remove this outer layer, eliminating the need for painful and complicated surgical instruments. This results in a more precise and comfortable procedure with faster recovery times.
During SmartSurf, a computer-guided excimer laser precisely reshapes the cornea based on the patient’s unique prescription. Imagine your eye as a camera lens. The cornea is reshaped during the procedure, helping light focus perfectly onto the retina and giving you clearer vision. It’s a quick outpatient process, approximately taking just a few minutes per eye.
SmartSurf provides highly precise vision correction, specifically designed to cater to each patient’s prescription.
SmartSurf offers faster recovery times compared to traditional PRK.
SmartSurf offers permanent vision correction. This reduces or eliminates the need for prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses.
Unlike LASIK, SmartSurf does not involve creating a corneal flap. This reduces the risk of flap-related complications.
SmartSurf is a suitable procedure for patients with thin corneas who may not be eligible for LASIK.
Before the SmartSurf procedure, the patient’s eyes are numbed with anesthetic drops. This is to ensure comfort throughout the procedure.
During SmartSurf, the epithelial layer of the cornea is removed using an excimer laser.
Once the outer layer of the cornea is removed, the excimer laser reshapes the underlying corneal tissue based on the patient’s prescription.
After the quick procedure, the patient’s eyes may feel a slight discomfort. Patients are advised to take the first few hours of post-operation rest.
The eyes will completely heal within 4-6 months.
The SmartSurf procedure is performed under anesthesia, so patients typically experience only minimal discomfort during the surgery.
Most patients experience improved vision within a few weeks after the SmartSurf procedure. A full recovery is expected within three months.
The SmartSurf procedure is for patients with refractive errors such as nearsightedness or myopia, farsightedness or hyperopia, and astigmatism. SmartSurf may also be suitable for patients with dry eyes or thin corneas, or those who are not eligible for LASIK. Moreover, a comprehensive eye evaluation is needed to determine if you are eligible for the SmartSurf procedure.
Whether you’re considering vision correction or seeking alternatives to traditional refractive procedures, our eye experts at Lasik Surgery Clinic will guide you.
