This can be performed on any suitable candidate for LASIK but it’s highly recommended for contact sports and thinner corneas as this is the safest alternative with 0 complications.

The process is really simple and a one-go procedure. It does not include creating a flap. The steps are as follows:
1. Eyes are numb using eye drops
2. Epithelium is removed & Cornea is reshaped with Excimer Laser
3. Bandaged Contact Lens is placed which will be removed after 5 days.
Recovery Period: Mostly patients get their 90-95% vision from the next day onwards. It takes 3-4 weeks to get full vision. You can resume all your work like Gym, Office, Swimming, makeup, etc. from the 6th day i.e. after removal of bandage contact lenses.

SmartSight or SmartSurf is flapless and touch‑free, so there is no risk of flap‑related complications and it may be preferred for thinner corneas or active lifestyles.
Conventional LASIK usually has slightly faster comfort in the first 24 hours, but both give similar vision outcomes in suitable candidates; the “better” option depends on your cornea, number, dryness, and lifestyle after a detailed checkup.
There are some short-term side effects like redness, watering, light sensitivity, glare/halos at night, and temporary fluctuation or haze in vision during the first days to weeks. These are manageable and disappear with the prescribed medicines and drops in 3-4 weeks.
SmartSurf (SmartSurfACE) is a type of advanced surface laser that removes the surface layer (epithelium) and corrects your number in a single step using an excimer laser, without any blade or flap. It is used to correct myopia and astigmatism to reduce or eliminate dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
All the refractive surgeries like LASIK is done after checking eye health and stability of eye power, so It is considered as a permanent solution for specs removal. Also, you need to understand that this surgery removes your current eye power and doesn’t stop your future changes. With age (after 40s) natural lens changes (presbyopia, cataract) can still develop, so you may later need reading glasses or cataract surgery, which is usually manageable even after prior LASIK/SmartSurf.
