VIDEO: SMILE offers faster recovery for patients

Key takeaways:

  • SMILE offers faster recovery time for patients.
  • The enhancement rate after SMILE is about 0.2%.

SAN DIEGO — In this Healio Video Perspective from the ASCRS meeting, Robert T. Lin, MD, shares his practice’s experience with more than 17,000 SMILE procedures performed over the past 4 years.

“Our practice has been immensely happy with the results of the SMILE procedure,” he said. “Most of our patients on postop day 1 have similar results to LASIK, and we have noticed a significant decrease in postoperative dry eye-like symptoms.”
