When it comes to achieving clear, glasses-free vision, technology continues to advance - giving patients more personalized, comfortable, and effective options than ever before. At Coastal Vision Medical Group, we are proud to offer ZEISS SMILE Pro in Long Beach, CA, delivering modern vision correction that fits today’s lifestyles.
ZEISS SMILE Pro (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) is an advanced form of laser eye surgery that reshapes the cornea to correct refractive errors like myopia (nearsightedness) and astigmatism. Using a highly precise femtosecond laser, the surgeon creates a small lenticule inside the cornea, which is then removed through an incision just a few millimeters wide. Unlike LASIK, ZEISS SMILE Pro does not require creating a corneal flap - resulting in a gentler and more efficient patient experience.
With no large flap to create or heal, the structural integrity of the cornea is better preserved. This helps reduce the risk of complications related to flap trauma and improves overall comfort.
Many patients notice improved vision within hours to a couple of days after the procedure. Because the incision is so small, healing tends to be faster with fewer activity restrictions.
The streamlined approach can reduce dry eye symptoms and post-operative irritation commonly associated with traditional refractive surgery.
ZEISS SMILE Pro uses state-of-the-art laser guidance to ensure accuracy and predictable outcomes, even for individuals with higher prescriptions or astigmatism.
With no corneal flap to protect, patients can return to activities more quickly and with fewer concerns about dislodging a flap later on.
ZEISS SMILE Pro is an excellent option for many people seeking freedom from glasses or contacts. Ideal candidates typically have:
Stable vision prescription
Mild to moderate myopia or astigmatism
Healthy corneas with adequate thickness
No significant underlying eye conditions
During a comprehensive evaluation, our surgeons will examine your eyes and determine if ZEISS SMILE Pro is the right solution for you.
