SMILE Pro Christmas Gift in West Hollywood
West Hollywood is one of the most walkable cities in Los Angeles County. People cross the city on foot from the Norma Triangle to Plummer Park, take classes at the boutique studios on Santa Monica Boulevard, and hike Runyon Canyon just over the city line. For residents who live in workout clothes, contact lenses and glasses are both a nuisance: one dries out in a hot yoga room, the other slides off in a plank.
Gyms, hot yoga and sweat
Sweat and heated studios are the most common worries WeHo patients bring up. After SMILE Pro, workouts, saunas and hot yoga have waiting periods that your surgeon sets based on healing, and swimming waits about 2 to 3 weeks. Plan a lighter routine for the first stretch, and keep sweat away from your eyes when you return. The team will be specific at follow-up.
Runyon Canyon and city dust
Runyon's dirt trail is busy and dusty, and wind carries grit off the hillside. Wraparound sunglasses help during early healing and are a good habit afterward. If you hike with a dog, ask a friend to take the leash for the first few outings.
Late nights on the boulevard
West Hollywood evenings run late, and walking home under streetlights and neon is part of the scene. If you already notice halos or starbursts around lights at night, bring it up at your consult, so you understand how your eyes may feel after treatment.
A short ride to Beverly Hills
The Beverly Hills office at 9100 Wilshire Blvd, Suite 265 East is roughly two miles from central West Hollywood. Many residents take a rideshare for the consult, since parking in WeHo is famously difficult; if you drive, parking in the building is validated. On treatment day, arrange for a friend to escort you home rather than going alone.
Before measurements
Soft contacts change corneal shape slightly, so they need to come out for a period before testing. For people who never wear glasses outside the house, plan that window around a lighter social week. Bring your glasses and contact lens prescription to the consult.
SMILE Pro in plain terms
SMILE Pro uses the ZEISS VISUMAX 800 laser to create a lenticule within the cornea that is removed through a small opening, with no LASIK flap. It treats eligible nearsightedness, with or without astigmatism, in adults 22 and older with a stable prescription. Rajesh Khanna, MD has more than 25 years of experience and 25,000+ procedures, and candidacy depends on the measurements. Results vary from person to person.
Cost
SMILE Pro is $150 per eye per month for 24 months for qualified applicants, through financing partners such as CareCredit, Alphaeon Credit or Cherry. The lender sets approval, APR and terms, not Khanna Vision Institute. More detail is on the financing options page.
A gift between friends
In West Hollywood, chosen family often does the gift-giving. A friend or partner may buy a gift certificate toward SMILE Pro, in an amount they choose. It is a personal gift, not a promotion from Khanna Vision Institute. Pair it with a Free VIP consult, in office and virtually.
