Zuma Beach Summer Fun Boosted by SMILE Laser Vision by Dr. Khanna

April 16, 2025

SMILE Vision Correction for Beach Lifestyles | Khanna Vision Institute

Imagine enjoying Malibu’s Zuma Beach without worrying about glasses slipping or contacts drying in the sun. SMILE laser vision correction makes that possible. At Khanna Vision Institute, Dr. Rajesh Khanna performs advanced SMILE procedures that restore natural vision and freedom.

What Is SMILE?

SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) corrects nearsightedness and astigmatism using a single femtosecond laser. Unlike LASIK, it doesn’t create a corneal flap, making it less invasive and faster to heal.

Why It’s Perfect for Outdoor Lifestyles

SMILE is ideal for people who love swimming, surfing, or hiking. Benefits include no lens loss in water, no fogging glasses, and reduced glare. It also causes less dryness and offers quicker recovery than traditional LASIK.

Patient Story: Ryan’s Zuma Beach Transformation

Ryan, a surfer from Malibu, struggled with contacts during ocean sports. After undergoing SMILE at Khanna Vision Institute, he regained freedom and clarity. “I can surf for hours without worrying about my lenses,” he said. “It feels like seeing the world for the first time again.”

The Procedure

Dr. Khanna uses the Zeiss VisuMax femtosecond laser to create and remove a tiny lenticule within the cornea. The incision is less than 3 mm, and healing starts immediately. Most patients see improved vision within a day.

SMILE vs. LASIK

SMILE requires a smaller incision, causes less dryness, and provides faster recovery. It’s perfect for athletes and outdoor enthusiasts seeking durable, high-quality vision correction.

Aftercare Tips

Avoid swimming for one week, wear UV-protected sunglasses, and use prescribed eye drops. Dr. Khanna’s team provides follow-up support to ensure a smooth recovery and lasting results.
