LASIK laser vision correction requires cutting a thin corneal slice (called a corneal flap) on the cornea to correct vision, so the incision is relatively large. SMILE Smile Vision Correction is a brand-new laser vision correction technology that only requires a small incision of 2-4 mm without opening the corneal flap, so the incision area is reduced by nearly 80%. Postoperative eye dryness and chances of infection are reduced, recovery time is also faster, and there is no problem of corneal flap displacement.<\/p>
But there is a misunderstanding in the market. Many people think that SMILE is a new technology and must be better than LASIK. In fact, you need to choose the appropriate surgical method according to your personal situation. For example, if you have farsightedness or myopia is more than 1000 degrees, SMILE vision correction<\/a> is not suitable.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \u5927\u90e8\u4efd\u4eba\u90fd\u9069\u5408\u63a5\u53d7SMILE \u5fae\u7b11\u77ef\u8996\uff0c\u4f46\u9700\u8981\u900f\u904e\u773c\u79d1\u5c08\u79d1\u91ab\u751f\u9032\u884c\u8a73\u7d30\u773c\u775b\u6aa2\u67e5\u624d\u80fd\u78ba\u5b9a\uff0c\u56e0\u70ba\u6709\u4e00\u4e9b\u773c\u775b\u554f\u984c\u53ef\u80fd\u672a\u88ab\u767c\u73fe\uff0c\u4f8b\u5982\u89d2\u819c\u592a\u8584\u3001\u9310\u5f62\u89d2\u819c\u3001\u56b4\u91cd\u7f3a\u4e4f\u6dda\u6c34\u5206\u6ccc\u7b49\u3002\u60a8\u53ef\u4ee5\u53c3\u52a0\u552f\u8996\u773c\u79d1\u7684\u514d\u8cbbSMILE vision correction seminars at EC EYE<\/a>, which will be explained in detail by an ophthalmologist. There will also be a preliminary eye examination and evaluation.<\/p><\/div> It is advisable to seek treatment for dry eyes first and if necessary, consult an ophthalmologist for advice and treatment. We also welcome you to visit our Dry Eye Centre, where we offer analysis and treatment for mild to severe dry eye conditions. The Centre incorporates the latest diagnostic techniques to identify the root cause of dry eye and pioneers the use of the latest and most advanced treatment methods.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Before surgery, you need to undergo a comprehensive eye examination, including power test, corneal thickness and curvature test, etc., in order to use accurate data to formulate an appropriate vision correction plan. Before the first eye examination, the client needs to stop wearing contact lenses.<\/p> The first examination and vision correction surgery can be performed on the same day at the earliest.<\/p> <\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t There will be local anesthesia in the eye before the vision correction surgery, so the client will not feel much. And the vision correction process is completed within 10 minutes.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t There is a chance of presbyopia as the small muscles that pull on the lens usually begin to degenerate after the age of 40, causing the near vision to become blurred. SMILE can also tackle the issue of presbyopia. For more information, please contact our ophthalmologists or attend a free SMILE seminar.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t The Mono Vision solution can solve the problem of presbyopia. One eye is responsible for distance vision and the other eye is responsible for near vision. For example: one eye is corrected to close to zero degrees, while the other eye is left with 100-200 degrees of myopia.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Many people think that after vision correction, it is considered successful only when the eye diopter changes to zero. This is a misconception. The standard for successful rate of vision correction is within +\/- 75 degrees. Now 90% of people are within +\/-50 degrees, which will not affect their lives. If the degree exceeds a certain level and the patient feels that it affects their life, enhancement surgery can be performed.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Yes, SMILE only changes the curvature of the cornea and will not affect other eye tissues.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Yes, only additional corneal collagen cross-linking is required. This is suitable for patients whose corneas are too thin or degree too deep, and who are suspected to be at risk of potential cone cornea. The ophthalmologist will evaluate the client before surgery to determine whether additional corneal collagen cross-linking surgery is needed. Corneal collagen cross-linking<\/a> involves applying riboflavin (a vitamin) eye solution to the patient's eyes, and then irradiating the eyes with ultraviolet light for 45 seconds to 1 minute to achieve corneal cross-linking and strengthen the cornea.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAm I suitable for SMILE?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t
