Benefits of Khanna Vision Institute’s SMILE Eye Surgery
SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) represents the newest generation of laser vision correction, offering a gentle, flap-free alternative to LASIK. At Khanna Vision Institute, Dr. Rajesh Khanna uses advanced Zeiss VisuMax technology to deliver precise, comfortable, and life-changing results for patients across California.
Key Benefits of SMILE
1. Minimally Invasive and Flap-Free
SMILE uses a tiny 2–3 mm incision instead of a corneal flap. This approach preserves corneal strength, reduces healing time, and minimizes complications.
2. Quick Recovery
Most patients notice improved vision within 24 hours and can resume normal activities within a day. There’s little to no discomfort or downtime.
3. Reduced Dry Eye Risk
Because SMILE affects fewer corneal nerves, it maintains natural eye moisture better than traditional LASIK — ideal for patients with dryness concerns.
4. Safe for Active Lifestyles
No flap means no risk of displacement during sports or physical activities. Perfect for athletes, swimmers, or those with active jobs.
5. Long-Term Stability
SMILE’s minimally invasive design ensures stable, long-lasting vision. Patients enjoy consistent 20/20 or better results for years after surgery.
6. Precision Technology
Dr. Khanna performs each SMILE procedure using the Zeiss VisuMax femtosecond laser for unmatched accuracy and safety. The system’s advanced optics provide smooth incisions and precise correction.
