SMILE PRO laser vision correction is a next-generation method that allows vision to be restored easily and safely, with minimal discomfort and very fast healing. This method is especially suitable for people who want to return to their normal daily routine immediately, engage in contact sports, and enjoy freedom from glasses and contact lenses. The method is particularly popular in Scandinavian countries.
- Vision correction using the SMILE PRO method is performed with the Carl Zeiss VisuMax 800 laser.
- It is a minimally invasive corneal procedure that preserves the integrity of the cornea.
- The method is suitable for correcting myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism, and is not recommended only in cases of specific eye diseases or during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
- The procedure takes about 10 minutes per eye, and most patients can return to work and sports the very next day.
- SMILE PRO is highly individualized, using intelligent planning technologies to ensure precision and comfort.
- At the LIREMA chain of eye clinics, an experienced team of doctors ensures patient safety and care from the initial consultation through full postoperative recovery.
SMILE PRO procedure – what to expect?
The process begins with a one-hour consultation during which comprehensive eye examinations are performed. We understand that patients often feel anxious, which is why our specialists make sure each step is clearly explained and that patients feel safe throughout the entire procedure:
1. Initial examination and consultation We perform thorough diagnostic tests, assess the patient’s lifestyle, and discuss laser vision correction options and their benefits, including SURFACE, FEMTO, and PRESBYOND correction methods.
2. The procedure On the day of surgery, the patient typically spends about one hour at the clinic, including preparation. In the operating room, the patient lies comfortably on their back while the microsurgeon explains each step. The laser itself works for up to 10 seconds per eye—you will barely notice when the procedure is finished.
3. Postoperative care
Patients can go home immediately after the procedure. In most cases, they can return to work and sports the very next morning. Temporary sensations such as dryness or mild irritation are managed with proper care and medications provided by the clinic for the healing period.
Patients are often surprised by how smooth the recovery is—without long stays in dark rooms, light sensitivity, or significant discomfort.

Frequently asked questions about SMILE PRO
What is the SMILE PRO laser eye surgery method?
SMILE PRO is an innovative laser vision correction technique that ensures extremely fast eye healing while preserving corneal tissue integrity and significantly reducing discomfort associated with temporary post-laser dry eye.
What are the main advantages of SMILE PRO?
Fast recovery, preservation of corneal tissue, maximum comfort during and after the procedure, and no loss of work capacity—most patients are able to work the very next day.
Who is this method recommended for?
The method is recommended for patients with myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism who want a fast and safe procedure without interrupting their daily activities and who are sensitive to discomfort. It is especially suitable for active individuals.
How does SMILE PRO differ from SURFACE (SmartSurfAce, LASEK, transPRK) and FEMTO correction methods?
During the SMILE PRO procedure, a very small smile-shaped incision is created without damaging the corneal surface. This reduces the risk of complications and ensures faster recovery.
How long does the procedure take and how soon can I return to my normal routine?
Including preparation, the procedure takes about 10 minutes per eye (the laser itself works for only about 10 seconds per eye). Most patients return to work or sports the next day.
