SMILE PRO Surgery — Real Patient Experiences & Before/After Stories

Nothing is more honest than real patient stories. Here are authentic before & after experiences from patients who chose SMILE PRO at Brar Eye Hospital, Punjab.

Gurpreet Singh, 28
Ludhiana • Power: -5.50 both eyes
★★★★★
BEFORE

Wore glasses since age 12. Could not play cricket without them. Tried contacts but had constant dryness.

SURGERY DAY

Surgery took less than 10 seconds. I barely felt anything. Was chatting with the nurse while it happened.

AFTER

Next morning I could read the newspaper clearly. No glasses. No contacts. After 16 years of specs — I cannot describe the feeling.

Harpreet Kaur, 32
Amritsar • Power: -3.75 right, -4.25 left
★★★★★
BEFORE

Glasses were my biggest insecurity. Teaching school children while constantly adjusting specs was tiring.

SURGERY DAY

Dr. P.S. Brar explained everything patiently. The procedure was painless — I was more nervous than it deserved.

AFTER

My students noticed before I told anyone. My confidence went up completely. No fogging in winters, no slipping frames. Life is different.

Maninder Brar, 25
Bathinda • Power: -7.50 both eyes (high power)
★★★★★
BEFORE

Very thick glasses. Everyone told me surgery was not possible for me at -7.50. Felt hopeless.

SURGERY DAY

Was surprised the hospital had ZEISS Visumax 800. Pre-op showed I was a good candidate. Surgery done same week.

AFTER

From -7.50 to zero. I can see stars at night clearly now — something I never could with glasses on. Recommend to everyone with high power.

Rajwinder Dhaliwal, 40
Patiala • Power: -4.00 + cylindrical
★★★★★
BEFORE

At 40, worried surgery might not be suitable. Was told by another hospital that I should wait. Came to Brar for second opinion.

SURGERY DAY

Brar team confirmed I was perfectly eligible. Comfortable, well-organized, very professional hospital.

AFTER

Distance vision is crystal clear. Use very weak reading glasses for fine print only. For driving, TV, everything else — completely free. Should have done this 10 years ago.
