Vision correction surgery selection depends on individual eye conditions

Medical experts emphasize that patients undergoing vision correction surgery should prioritize their specific eye conditions over the popularity of the latest surgical techniques. Various methods exist, including LASIK, which involves creating a corneal flap; LASEK, which removes the corneal epithelium; and SMILE, which uses a small incision to remove a lenticule.

For patients with thin corneas or high degrees of myopia and astigmatism, Implantable Collamer Lenses (ICL) serve as an alternative since they do not involve corneal cutting. Advanced technologies like Silk SMILE, utilizing Johnson & Johnson Vision equipment, and SMILE Pro, based on ZEISS VisuMax 800 technology, offer increased precision and faster recovery.

Recent advancements in SMILE Pro include ultra-minimal incisions of approximately 1mm, which can reduce the risk of nerve damage and accelerate the return to daily activities. However, specialists note that such procedures require specialized tools and high-level surgical expertise to ensure safety during the lenticule separation process.
