SMILE Pro: The Gentle Revolution in Laser Eye Surgery
SMILE Pro is the most advanced and at the same time the gentlest form of laser eye treatment. The procedure is an evolution of ReLEx SMILE and Femto-LASIK and precisely corrects short-sightedness and astigmatism with minimal discomfort. Thanks to its minimally invasive nature, the eye remains stable, and healing is particularly fast. Professor Dan Reinstein, a member of the EuroEyes Medical Board, played a key role in the development of SMILE laser surgery.
EuroEyes is known from press & media worldwide.
What is SMILE Pro?
SMILE Pro is the latest generation of laser eye treatment and one of the most advanced vision correction procedures available. It has been developed to treat short-sightedness and astigmatism in an especially gentle and precise way. The method is minimally invasive, safe, and ensures permanently clear vision without glasses or contact lenses.

What makes this laser eye method special?
SMILE Pro combines cutting-edge laser technology with maximum patient comfort. The procedure is performed through a tiny opening in the cornea – without incisions or any smell. As a result, the eye experiences minimal stress, healing is particularly fast, and the outcome is impressively clear.
Is SMILE Pro right for me?
SMILE Pro is ideal for people between 18 and 38 years of age who suffer from short-sightedness or astigmatism and wish for more freedom in their daily lives. Those who are physically active or have sensitive eyes benefit especially from this gentle procedure. A personalised preliminary examination will determine whether SMILE Pro is the right solution for you.

How does SMILE Pro work?
In SMILE Pro, a highly precise laser creates a thin lens-shaped piece of tissue inside the cornea, which is then removed through a tiny opening. This corrects the refractive error without significantly affecting the surface of the eye. The procedure takes only a few minutes, is virtually painless, and allows for quick and stable healing.

What is the difference between ReLEX SMILE, ReLEx SMILE Pro and SMILE Pro?
ReLEx SMILE is a laser eye treatment method. SMILE Pro – also referred to as ReLEx SMILE Pro – is the faster, more precise and safer advancement of ReLEx SMILE. The procedure is carried out exclusively with the Zeiss Visumax 800 femtosecond laser. With the laser, a thin disc of corneal tissue, the so-called lenticule, is processed to correct the existing refractive error.
What makes SMILE Pro different compared to other laser eye methods?
While Femto-LASIK creates a flap, SMILE Pro uses a small incision of no more than two to three millimetres. The method is therefore particularly gentle and even suitable for people with thinner corneas or dry eyes.
What are possible side effects of the SMILE Pro method?
Possible side effects of a SMILE Pro treatment, as with any other refractive surgery, include temporarily hazy vision in the first hours, increased light sensitivity and dry eyes in the first days after the procedure.
How long does SMILE Pro last?
As a rule, a SMILE Pro treatment, like any other laser eye procedure, is permanent. However, laser eye surgery does not prevent presbyopia – this can be corrected with a refractive lens exchange.
When can I expect full vision?
In the following days you will already experience significantly improved vision and reach about 80% of your visual acuity. In principle, once you have received the certificate for the road traffic authority, you can already participate in road traffic again. Full visual acuity is usually achieved about 3–4 days after the treatment.
When is SMILE Pro not possible?
SMILE Pro is not suitable for people with hyperopia or presbyopia. As an alternative for hyperopia, Femto-LASIK treatment is available. Presbyopia can be corrected with a refractive lens exchange.
What should be considered after a SMILE Pro treatment?
After a SMILE Pro laser eye treatment, it is important to attend the scheduled follow-up appointments, follow the recommended aftercare guidelines and use the prescribed eye drops according to the drop schedule.
How much does a SMILE Pro treatment cost?
A SMILE Pro treatment at EuroEyes costs CHF 2,590 per eye. All follow-up appointments are included in the fixed price. The treatment can be paid in instalments over a period of up to 36 months – with an annual interest rate of 10.95%.
