About LASIK & SMILE eye surgery
LASIK reshapes the cornea with a laser to correct short sight, long sight and astigmatism. Newer options include bladeless femto-LASIK, topography-guided Contoura Vision and SMILE, a keyhole technique that needs no corneal flap.
A detailed eye examination and corneal mapping decide whether you are suitable and which technique fits your eyes. Both eyes are usually treated on the same day, and the price depends mainly on the technique.
Who is it for?
Adults over 18 whose glasses prescription has been stable for at least a year, with healthy corneas of sufficient thickness.
