SMILE Pro procedure offers accessible, high quality, safer, and minimally invasive vision correction. It also offer the widest range of correction, treating grades as low &nbsp;as -0.75D and as high as -1000D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Vicente Santos, president at Fatima University Medical Center and head of its Ophthalmology Department, the procedure is performed using the Visumax 800 laser technology, which takes 10 seconds per eye to complete. The technology creates minor incision, as well as lenticule or a small contact lens-shaped layer just beneath the eye. This layer is then removed through the incision, reshaping the eye and correcting the vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the benefits derived from this laser treatment include the following: ensure precise correction of refractive errors, resulting in improved vision; most patients can return to their normal activities within a short period, and the flapless procedure reduces the risk of flap-related complications such as dry eye and flap displacement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SMILE Pro procedure offers accessible, high quality, safer, and minimally invasive vision correction.
