- Can you imagine correcting your nearsightedness for good? In 4 minutes per eye? Check out this video of an actual SMILE eye procedure and I will walk you through each of the steps!
Got mine done recently. I understand how nerve-wrecking it is and I was nervous on the day of the procedure, but they do give you medicine to help you relax and numb the shit out of your eyes so I barely felt a thing. My doctor was so kind and gave me a stress ball and played relaxing music in the background which definitely helped, it's definitely worth it and you can immediately tell the difference the next day.
I just had this done almost a week ago and its the best thing I have ever done
Can u tell me about this?? Is this painfull?

I just did SMILE 5 days ago, could already watch TV the evening of the procedure and now I'm having perfect eyesight apart from glarings at night (which is a side-effect 100% of the time and slowly fades away). No dry eyes at all so far, didn't feel a thing during the surgery. For those who are hesitant, just check all the comments below and do yourself a favour and get the surgery. It's worth it I promise.
How are your glares at night 8 months later?
How are your eyes & vision a year later?
Is the glare gone? And do you have dry eyes now?
Glaring is gone, dry eye only if I drank a lot of alcohol, didn't sleep well or stared at monitor for too long, and doesn't feel dry for the rest of the day if I just apply a single drop of eye drop.
Vision still 20/15 for both eyes
@@tonyngjichun why not 20/20? Did the doctor already tell you that you won't get 20/20?
Seeing the procedure feels more painful than the actual surgery i got😂
Exactly
watching this 12 hours after getting mine done, did not hurt at all. felt like my eye was getting swabbed with a q tip. didn't feel any incision. after the op, using the drops that were prescribed and napping, nothing but excited for how clear things will be as time passes as you won't see 20/20 immediately after.
How do you feel now?
@ojamaliapriscillagodwins5049 hey, I've gone back for two follow ups so far and I have 20/20 vision. they say it'll keep improving over time and may even go up to 20/15 which is even sweeter. I did have one day where I felt a headache (they say that might happen due to overcorrection and you getting used to it) and had to take ibuprofen, but it only lasted the day. do yourself a favor and get it 👌
@@chrisgateway7846 so happy for you! I just got mine and they said the same
Absolutely terrified of eye surgery because of the lasting pain. What’s it like with smile? How bad is the pain afterwards?
@@skeledin5858 Stop being a coward and go for it. We're humans we're supossed to feel pain. It will make you a man/female. This generation is so soft... Do you not think that you will be happy and appreciate your self for taking the risk afterwards?
SMILE is an absolutely incredible technology. If you are a good candidate for SMILE, it really does not make sense to get LASIK, LASEK, or PRK IMO. Surgeons are always hesitant to use the word "better", but SMILE yields the great clinical outcomes of LASIK, but is less invasive, doesn't use a corneal flap that can potentially become dislodged if you get hit hard in the eye, has a more simple recovery, and it severs fewer nerve endings which means less issue with dry eyes post op. At least in my situation (someone with dry eye from MGD), SMILE was drastically better than other options. Anyone considering permanent vision correction should definitely consider it when weighing their options.
I need to get it done but I have horrible anxiety with things near my eyes, can you please tell me what the procedure was like. Did it hurt, we’re you conscience etc?
@@reidk4795 just got mine today, I got up seeing 100% percent better. They numb the eye with drops, hold it open with a tool and tell you to focus your eye on a green light. If your doctor is good, he’ll talk you through every step. When I got up and was able to see from far away it blew my mind, even tho it was slightly foggy. 4hrs later I can see and theres no fog just a pain level 2 in the eye
@@reidk4795 I just had it done yesterday. They numb everything up so you don't feel pain, but it is a little unsettling as they poke around in your eye. Mostly feels like someone is scrubbing around in your eye. That said it's super fast and already 30 hours later I'm seeing near perfectly. It's incredible
@@mrbilinski thank you for the reply! Just curious but could you actually see the tools on ur eye or is it just the green light thing. I’m scheduled to get it done mid December. Super nervous still but everyone who’s had it done said it was incredible
@@reidk4795 no you just stare at the green dot for 30 seconds. Then you feel some movement in your eye (again no pain at all) for a couple minutes, and then you’re all done!
My head started hurting during that lenticule part 😵
So glad I decided years ago to watch it on video only AFTER I’ve got a laser eye surgery 🤣 I had mine done yesterday, same technique as smile, different name though. So happy I did it 🎉

Just got mine done on two days ago on Monday. The car ride home was noticeably better vision but of course it was blurry. Took my nap and woke up and most of the blurriness was gone. I was actually watching tv even before my nap the first hour and a half after surgery. Took my nap for 3 hours and was seeing really well. Had my 24hr post op appt yesterday, drove myself there. Vision is amazing, they said I am already seeing 20/16. It’s Wednesday now and just got off of a flight and never felt better. Can’t wait to see how much more it could even possibly improve to. I do feel like my eyes are slightly dry. But, they have always felt this way as I wore contacts for almost 2 decades and didn’t always change them as often as I should or take them out every night. Thankfully contacts and glasses are behind me for good.
Just got it done today and its so weird being able to see without glasses or contacts. Procedure didnt feel like a cotton swab to me. It almost was like watching a POV shot in a movie. I felt nothing. Definitely worth it
Its my 2nd month since my SMILE surgery and life has b34n better!!
Just got this done yesterday. Surgery isn't painful whatsoever. After the surgery, your vision is cloudy and it will feel like you have an eyelash or something else in your eye, so it's an annoying feeling but nothing painful. The second day, my vision is already so much better. Not completely 20/20 yet, but pretty damn close. No pain or burning in the eyes whatsoever. They'll feel ever so slightly dry, but a few artificial tears and you're good.
got this surgery a month back and it was one of the best decisions I've ever taken. -7/eye to 0.
Great to hear. It looks so disgusting though, haha. I'm getting it done soon. How does it work with not moving your eyes? I've heard you are supposed to not move them at all, but lookng at this, it's almost impossible? Do you see or feel all those instruments going in your eye?
@@Fanaleds-software I was given numbing drops that kind off stopped my eye movement for a while, but then they also asked me to follow a pink/orange light. They’ll handle the rest.
All the best for you surgery!
@@AshokkumarJakkula thanks for the reply! Sounds good.
what about dry eyes?
@@androtbt the after surgery medication usually lasts for a month or 2 and would help with the dry eyes. I’m someone who suffers with screen induced dryness and honestly after the surgery there wasn’t match difference. The drops helped and 2 months down the line my eyes are less dry comparatively (probably because I changed my lifestyle w.r.T screen)
I'm going for my consult tomorrow and if all goes well schedule the actual procedure. Looking forward to it.
Update: I'm scheduled for next Wednesday.
How did it go? Are you happy with the results?
@@elocore1702 I had the surgery Wednesday. The procedure went really well. You'll spend 24 seconds under the laser/eye and about 2-3 minutes for the surgeon to pull the lenticule. The first few hours you'll feel discomfort. Do as you're directed with your drops and eye shield/shade. I had my first post op yesterday and my vision went from 20/40 to 20/15. And yes I am happy with the results.
@@rafaelgonzalez7075 Wanna give us an update ? I'm also considering having SMILE.
It has been a month since surgery and I'm really loving it. Went to my one month checkup and my vision is still at 20/15. I'm able to read road signs at about 1/2 mile out, something I was not able to do. I have gotten beach and pool water in my eyes, but I just rinse them off with bottled water and put some refresh drops.

Hi Doc, have you heard about the newer procedure called CLEAR? I believe it’s a more refined form of its predecessor SMILE. It’s also known as Corneal Lenticule Extraction for Advanced Refractive (CLEAR) Correction. I heard it’s the 4th generation vision correction technology. I’m not sure if it’s being used in the US as of this time.
Was wondering as well about this. From what I can gather, CLEAR seems to be another marketing term for SMILE used by Ziemer (one of the laser manufacturers). There's a video on RUclips about how they do it: ruclips.net/video/PxP9Lk7GeZw/видео.html - seems very similar to SMILE.
I'm done this yesterday lil bit scary but the vision is getting better now
i had this procedure 5 mos ago. the procedure is really easy it only took me 3 min and no pain at all. its worth it, I can see very clear now. dryness is very less, i had more dryness before the procedure, i did it in cebu philippines with dr yong larrazaba. he is gifted.
I did it like 20 days ago but I still have distorted vision at distance ! Is it normal ?
I think that is just normal. But of course it is best to consult again to your dr. Every individual has different reactions towards the procedure, it’s just fortunate for me that i have less untoward reactions.
Its has been 5 months since my smile surgery,
Now i regret for doing this🤦
Why tell me!
@@kayabayunreu6092 still vision not clear, having severe dry eyes
You feel better yet?
How is it possible to ablate UNDER the cornea without affecting the top surface? In normal LASIK, the laser merely reshapes the surface under the flap, but with SMILE, it creates a lenticule under the surface. HOW?
It's inside the cornea I think
This is the same question I had
The same way they do images in a glass block. the laser is set to a specific focal point, I think that's what it's called, and is therefor only active at that distance. This is why the procedure needs to be so precise.
I had this procedure a few days ago. I'm not sure about the technicalities of it but but my surgeon told me that this was absolutely the most crucial part of the procedure, i had to look at the laser no matter what
@@andyuchiha1644 nost crucial
is this procedure to see without glasses or contacts? like it improved your vision? i’m 11, turning 12 in early april, and my vision is so bad that when i don’t do contacts or glasses, then i can’t even see large letters one or two feet away.i do night contacts where i put contacts in at night and take them in the morning so i can see, and i do that everyday. my vision is super bad so i was thinking about doing some sort of surgery when i’m older, but seeing this it’s kind of scary- for anyone who’s done it or knows a lot about it, can someone explain what it does, what it feels like during the surgery, or how the world looks like after it? or do u need glasses or contacts or anything? how long are you able to see before your eyes get bad again? what if your genetics are bad eyesight
My eyeballs are shaking first time in my life.
Had it done 2 weeks ago. Very happy!!
My biggest concern is... can you still move your eye? I don't want to mess up the procedure by a flimsy reflex of moving my eye.
I just did it 10 days ago at the time of this comment. Short answer: Yes… but no. Long answer: you still feel and have control to your eye muscle, it is not a complete paralysis per se… but they will have various eye drops that they use on you before the surgery, so your eyes will be “less responsive” if that makes sense, and during the surgery they will tape and force your eyelid open with a special tool so you wouldn’t be able to close your eyes even if you tried hard. Those are like the “safety switch” I guess. However when it comes down to the actual procedure, it is so fast that I doubt there is anyone couldn’t endure. Yes it is slightly uncomfortable when they move that tool around your eye, but it does not hurt at all, just uncomfortable, and that lasts like less than a minute. They also have a small light above you, which they ask you to look at to keep your eyes straight and keep you focus. The surgeon will also let you know what to do at what stage (ie. hold your eye still for 10-20 seconds, you can blink now, etc). All in all, it is fast and not hurting to the slightest. I was worried too but it was a less than 30 minutes visit to the hospital to get me (hopefully) life-time of glasses free experience.
@@KS-mxh thanks fro in depth answer,
what about dry eyes? do you have it? did your surgeon told you anything about side effects after a year or so?
@@androtbt my surgeon did say that there would be dry eyes problem but it would be less intense than regular LASIK, now of course I didn't get to do both procedures so I cant give comment on how less severe or if it even "less" at all. However what I can tell you is I indeed have dry eyes after the surgery but it is very minor, by minor I mean it only takes a drop of eye drop to overcome. And the problem is more noticeable at night than day time so it wouldn't affect the daily activity too much. And if I use the eye drop as per instructed (4 times a day) some time i wouldn't feel the dry eyes at all. But you know sometimes I just forget and I might feel my eyes are tired and dry, that's when I know I need a drop of eye drop, and that will fix it for me.
@@KS-mxh How does it feel now ? Do you still have dry eyes ?
@@mggt4684 nope, as good as new. Everything settled in about the 5th or 6th month mark.
What is the role of the power of the eye in this procedure
If the lenticule doesn't come out in one piece, how do you go about removing the bit/s left behind?
doing the thingy again i suppose but im no doctor
From what I gathered when they made that small cut they dug around in a circular motion and pulled out. Then put the liquid on top to see if any excess left drained out.
I just had mine yesterday it doesn't hurt at all, but the first two shot was a little bit pitchy. The rest is painless.
How much does it cost??
What happens if the doctor takes too long to find the lenticure, or is it possible that it's not completely removed? I experienced a situation where the doctor took an extended period to remove the lenticure for my left eye. She made several attempts to locate it, and eventually, she informed me that it had already been removed and was perhaps due to my eye dryness and that lenticure is more sticky and stick on the tool. However, she didn't realize it and continued searching and removing. In such a case, how can she ensure the completeness of the removal of the lenticure? what is the complication for the prolong surgery in such a case? i experienced that my left eye more stings than my right eye. today is my 6 days after the SMILE procedures. right eye recovery better but left eye still having the discomfort ? will this affect my left eye result in overall?
How many patients have you done this surgery for?
There are bubbles on top of cornea after the surgery... What will happen to them?
I believe that it will disappear within a few hours.
@@mardybum_cnx ReALLY
say what? i felt like my doctor didnt do anything but rub something on my eye, for about a minute. It definitely wasnt 4 minutes. This video actually make me more freaked out, good thing i didnt see it before lol
I’m getting this procedure done this week and I just came to read the comments - won’t watch the video either lol. How is your eyesight now?
The recovery time? I hear in Lasik the pt can see clear instantly after procedure, Do smile procedure achieve this or there is a more length time for the pt to see clear? By your video SMILE is a better procedure because corneal flap is prevented and the integrity of the total cornea preserved. Your experience comparing both procedures? Thanks again for this video!
Vision can be a bit foggy initially and improves over a week or so...this can be a bit longer than LASIK but it is not lifestyle limiting. No flap, no worries, less dry eye, easier procedure to go through
@@rexhamiltonmd but lasik looks easier
@@VelocityEditsuwu no, it is not. Nothing controls the lanticure there
I had this procedure 3 days ago. My vision is slowly improving. I can see but everything has a hazy glaze to it
@@andyuchiha1644 How's your vision coming along? Fully clear or any issues still? Hopefully you're well.
Wonderful video, thanks for it.
this reminds me of that final destination 5 part when that girl had lasik but her eye got ran over when she fell out of the window 💀
I thought i am the only one
Why they are removing the lenticule?
So that they can reshape the cornea in such a way that light can hit the back of the eye (retina) properly
ill just stick to glasses 💀
Great

@@clint1285 oh, okk, until completely healed there will haziness to near vision also
I won't lie. Removing the lenticule from the eye looks really nasty. But I understand its effectiveness.
Yep, the body is as intelligently designed as it gets,
that lenticule is there for a reason.,It doesn't feel right to remove it.
It hit me when the doctor actually moved that thing on the surface of the eye, imagine you are the patient...
I got this done like 10 days ago and it's great but there's 0,5 minus left in one eye but that's okay at least I don't have to wear my eye glasses anymore. From -5.
What is lenticule..is it apart of the cornea? Or does the laser create if...if it is apart of the cornea how does it effect the eye years later
Itself cornea, that why they checking corneal thickness before surgery, after corneal thickness reduced
But what makes me from moving my cornea away from the laser

With some eye drops kind of anesthesia
which is less invasive and has less side effects, SMILE or PRK??
SMILE ofc
The part that gets taken out - I'm a bit concerned about it. It is a part of the eye or something that the laser creates to correct the vision that then gets taken out? Will it cause complications in the long run because that part is not there?
It basically shaping your lens.
Less than a millimeter. That's how thin a healthy cornea is. Now it's thinner.
@@centralintelligenceagency9003 ないす
it's a thin piece of the cornea that is removed
Honestly? This looks terrifying.
HI Ben...Dr. H here. I know there are many who share your sentiment. Believe it or not, patients feel nothing! The eye is anesthetized so there is no sharp sensation. There is the sensation on the dissection portion that the eye is moving which is kind of weird. With regard to the eye moving, during the laser part (first part of video) the laser interface has control of the eye so it won't move. There is a small amount of pressure on the eye during the initial part of the laser portion...kind of like putting a contact lens in your eye. The entire process, for both eyes, takes 8 minutes.
Honestly I debated about putting this video up for the exact reason you stated...it may scare folks off. On the flip side, a painless procedure that takes 8 minutes total for both eyes, is really appealing so I wanted folks to see it start to finish, unedited. Keep in mind as well that there are NO restrictions on post-operative day 1 because there is no flap. You can get in the UFC ring if you wanted to! Eye make up, swimming, sports, all fine on day one.
Vision is a bit foggy typically for a few days but not enough to limit your activities.
Hope to see everyone soon!
@@rexhamiltonmd Hi Dr. Hamilton, thanks for the reply, didn't expect a response. Really appreciate it. I'm actually scheduled to do SMILE two days from now. I am a bit apprehensive though because 1) I have blepharitis, chronic pinkeye and also lots of staph stuff on my eyelids and 2) I am planning to experiment legally with psychedelic drugs a month or two after the surgery but am not sure how it'll affect the post-surgery healing. Also, 3), I tend to respond ineffectively to anesthetic eye drops, and can still feel sensations quite clearly. And 4), I'm worried because SMILE does not come with iris-tracking technology the way LASIK does, so if I move my eyeballs while the laser is zapping out the lenticule, I guess it means trouble?
One thing I don't really understand is how SMILE is advertised as cutting less corneal nerves than LASIK, given how the entire lenticule looks like nerve-severing across the whole circle. But it was still an extremely informative video!
Perfect
does lenticule come back?
Nope (as far as I understand)
no

@@SacredPoppy don't bother commenting brother these people hate humans and don't want us to live a better life at a cost of few animals even tho most test subjects are completely fine after testing
i dont think it corrects it for good. regression occurs. ive had it. not worth the risk for an elective procedure. dont play with your eyes.
Hello Jake, Did you have Lasik or the SMILE procedure done? What was your prescription before?
@@neo85neo I had Lasik. It was -7.50 both eyes before. Now I have -2.50 both eyes. As well as complications, making it completely not worth and a regret for me. My cornea is very thinned out now as well.
@@jakec5618 Thank you for answering so quickly:) thank you for the feedback, as this technology is somewhat new, I was both interested and concerned.
Me:me go bath
I'll watch the gorriest and most disgusting movies ever with a smile on my face, however watching this makes my skin crawl and want to puke.
Tooooooo fckn much processes and cuttings, other lasik ones are much better.
