Our expert surgeons have answered the most common questions about SMILE PRO eye surgery in Punjab.

General Questions About SMILE PRO

SMILE PRO (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction PRO) is the world's first AI-powered robotic laser eye surgery for permanent specs removal. Using the ZEISS Visumax 800 platform, it reshapes the cornea in just 8 seconds per eye through a tiny 2-4mm incision. It is bladeless, flapless, painless, and US FDA approved. It represents the 4th generation of laser eye surgery and is the most advanced option available globally.

Yes, SMILE PRO is the safest laser eye surgery available. It is US FDA approved with millions of successful procedures worldwide. Key safety advantages: 80% less dry eyes than LASIK, no corneal flap (eliminating flap-related complications), AI-guided precision, and a smaller 2-4mm incision. At Brar Eye Hospital, we have performed 50,000+ surgeries with an excellent safety record.

The SMILE PRO laser treatment takes only 8 seconds per eye - making it the world's fastest vision correction surgery. The total hospital time including eye drops, preparation, and post-op rest is approximately 2-3 hours.

Yes, SMILE PRO results are permanent. The procedure permanently reshapes your cornea to correct your refractive error. Normal age-related changes (like presbyopia/reading glasses after 40) are separate and can still occur, but your SMILE PRO correction remains for life. For patients with stable power before surgery, the results are lifelong.

Eligibility Questions

SMILE PRO eligibility criteria:
  • Age: 18 years or above
  • Stable glasses power for at least 1 year
  • Myopia (short-sightedness): -1 to -10 diopters

Yes! SMILE PRO can correct myopia up to -10 diopters, which covers the majority of patients with high power. This is one advantage SMILE PRO has over some other procedures. A detailed examination will determine the exact correction achievable based on your corneal thickness.

Cost & EMI Questions

SMILE PRO surgery is available at ₹61,000 per eye at Brar Eye Hospital in Punjab. This special offer price (regular ₹75,000) includes complete pre-op checkup, surgery with ZEISS Visumax 800, post-op medicines, and all follow-up visits. No hidden charges.

Yes! We offer 0% interest EMI with instant approval. Pay as low as ₹1,700/month for 24 months for both eyes. Available on all major credit cards and debit EMI. Call us to know current EMI offers and bank partners.

Recovery & Side Effects

SMILE PRO recovery timeline:
  • Same day: Mild irritation, advised rest
  • Next day (24 hrs): Clear vision, can do light work
  • 2-3 days: Resume office/desk work
  • 1 week: Resume most activities
  • 1 month: Complete healing
This is much faster than LASIK (7-14 days rest) or traditional surgery.

Temporary side effects (resolve in days to weeks):
  • Mild eye irritation for 24 hours
  • Slight glare or halos around lights (1-2 weeks)
  • Mild dryness (much less than LASIK)
  • Sensitivity to bright light initially
Serious complications are extremely rare (<0.01%) when performed by experienced surgeons at a proper facility. Brar Eye Hospital has an excellent safety record over 30+ years.

For patients with stable power before surgery, the results are permanent. In rare cases (<2%), minor regression can occur if the power was not fully stable. Age-related changes like presbyopia (needing reading glasses after 40) are normal and unrelated to SMILE PRO. Our thorough pre-op screening ensures we only operate on eligible candidates with stable power.
