Can I get rid of my spectacles/contact lenses permanently after undergoing SMILE eye surgery?Yes. SMILE is a permanent treatment.
-
What are the chances of dry eyes?The chances of dry eyes in smile procedure is very less than LASIK or Contoura Vision
-
Will SMILE be an obstruction for conducting Cataract treatment in later years of life?There is neither any hindrance to cataract surgery nor does it affect the outcome of surgery.
-
How is SMILE eye surgery different from other refractive procedures?Unlike in all other laser eye surgery procedures, the corneal tissue is not eroded using an excimer laser. ReLEx SMILE is totally laser operated procedure that uses proven Femto second laser technique which means it is absolutely flapless and bladeless. Basic principle of SMILE surgery is reshaping of cornea by removal of corneal lenticule created by femto laser throught a key hole incision where as in LASIK/Femto lasik/ Contura vision, cornea is reshaped by creating a flap with a 18-20 mm incision of 2mm, removing the underlying corneal tissue with laser and replacing the flap back. Hence, SMILE is the only flapless laser vision correction procedure in the world and is safer than lasik/ femto lasik/contura vision. Quick procedure and early recovery are among the other key advantages that SMILE has over other conventional procedure. The three steps of Small Incision Lenticule Extraction Step 1: Lenticule creation Step 2: Lenticlue removal Step 3: Impairment is corrected
-
Can I start working on my computer immediately after SMILE?Unlike LASIK, SMILE is gentler to eyes, so you can start working on computers within a day of surgery.
-
Am I a candidate of Smile Eye Surgery?Every Patient is different, every eye is different. That is why every patient needs complete Smile Eye Surgerywork up. During workup patient's vision, pentacam scan and retina check up is done. If your workup is normal, if your age is above 18, if your number is stable, If your retina is healthy then you are fit for Smile Eye Surgery
-
Is SMILE painful or does it cause any redness or hypersensitivity in eyes?SMILE eye surgery is minimally invasive and almost entirely painless method that does not involve use of needles or surgical blades. The entire procedure is laser operated and gets over in few minutes.
-
Is SMILE eye surgery safe for people wearing contact lenses?SMILE laser vision correction surgery is completely effective and safe for people wearing contact lenses. Although your surgeon might ask you to discontinue wearing contact lenses for a week before surgery.
-
How long does SMILE procedure take?The entire procedure gets over in less than 12 minutes for both the eys . Short duration for surgery and early recovery are amongst the many benefits that come with the advanced procedure called SMILE.
-
When can I start wearing eye make-up after undergoing SMILE?You can start wearing eye make-up and do beauty parlor treatments after one week of time
-
How many patients worldwide have undergone SMILE eye surgery?SMILE eye surgery is a smart solution offered at centers of excellence for vision across the globe. To date, more than 20 lakh eyes have been successfully treated with SMILE.
-
Can I drive back home immediately after surgery?Next day, you can start driving

What are the key advantages of PRESBYOND® Laser Blended Vision?PRESBYOND® Laser Blended Vision adjusts each eye in slightly different ways: one eye is adjusted to see mostly at distance, and a little close-up, while the other is the opposite: mostly up close, and a little at distance. The brain compensates for this change almost instantly, combining the two images to give much greater depth of vision, and an all-round improvement in visual acuity that means most patients can throw away those infuriating reading glasses. Over 98% of PRESBYOND® Laser Blended Vision patients can read normal newsprint (‘N8’). Over 90% of PRESBYOND® Laser Blended Vision patients can read the small print on medicine bottle inserts.
-
What is PRESBYOND® Laser Blended Vision?From middle age patient looses ability to see near objects which is called presbyopia, for which patient needs near vision glasses PRESBYOND® Laser Blended Vision: is a revolutionary treatment for presbyopia
-
How Long Will The Effects of PRESBYOND® Laser Blended Vision Last?As presbyopia develops, the eye’s ability to adjust to vision at various distances continues to decrease. Most noticeably, it causes near objects to appear blurry and out of focus. For these reasons, we wouldn’t describe the effects of PRESBYOND® Laser Blended Vision as permanent. However, that’s not to say you will definitely end up back in reading glasses. When you are treated with a full blended vision profile, you will have sufficient reading vision to last you the rest of your life. There may be small changes to your vision over your lifetime, over a ten year period for example, which may mean that the very, very fine print becomes a little bit difficult again. But by and large, your general reading vision should remain. To conclude, if it does become difficult to read very fine print, there is always the possibility of having an enhancement procedure if there is sufficient — although this is rarely the case.
-
How does PRESBYOND® Laser Blended Vision work?PRESBYOND® Laser Blended Vision — a treatment pioneered by Carl Zeiss Meditec — can significantly reduce, or even eliminate, the need for reading glasses. Thousands of patients treat presbyopia.LASIK Laser Eye Surgery, contoura vision can not treat presbyopia which can only by treated by presbyond. Patient does not even need lenses implanted in the eye by operation. PRESBYOND® Laser Blended Vision is considered to have major advantages over intraocular lens implants (IOLs). Firstly, it’s a significantly less invasive (and therefore safer) procedure. Secondly, it doesn’t require the same compromises as IOLs (where multifocal IOLs can affect the quality of the vision). Thirdly, it’s very accurate, and it can be adjusted as the eye ages further. What’s more, it’s suitable for around 97% of ageing eyes, while only around 60% of people can tolerate monovision (an alternative solution for presbyopia, which use contact lenses or older laser systems). PRESBYOND® Laser Blended Vision has been adopted by Carl Zeiss Meditec and programmed into their lasers, so clinics around the world are now able to offer this option. While many Laser Eye Surgery clinics in India still resort to lens replacement surgery for correcting ageing eyes, Singla Eye Hospital and Laser Vision Centre are proud to offer PRESBYOND® Laser Blended Vision — a far less invasive option, suitable for the vast majority of patients

Why TOPO VISION ?SPECS REMOVAL + CORNEAL IRREGULARITIES REMOVAL + VISUAL AXIS TREATMENT = SHARPEST VISION BEYOND LASIK AND BLADELESS LASIK Topo Vision is the second generation correction for specs removal. While procedures like LASIK and BLADELESS LASIK only correct specs power, Topo Vision goes one step further! In addition to correcting your specs power, Topo Vision also corrects your corneal irregularities while working on Visual axis, thereby providing much sharper visual outcomes, unmatched by LASIK & Femto Lasik. It also provides good night vision and colour vision.
-
What are the advantages of TOPO VISION ?SPECS REMOVAL Topo Vision has high safety in specs removal procedures. Also Topo Vision has the following advantages: Blade – Less Pain – Less Stitch – Less No Injections No Bandage No Hospitalization Walk in – Walk Out Specs Free
-
Am I a candidate of Topo vision Lasik Laser?Every Patient is different, every eye is different. That is why every patient needs complete Topo Vision laser work up. During workup patient's vision, pentacam scan, Topography with ATLAS 900 and retina check up is done. If your workup is normal, if your age is above 18, if your number is stable, If your retina is healthy then you are fit for Topo Vision.
-
History of Topo Vision – How it was developed?Topo Vision builds on the principle of topography, providing a precise mapping of Thousands of points of the cornea. Traditional wave-front LASIK only maps approximately 200 points of the entire eye. In 2016 Carl Zeiss Meditec came with revolutionary new concept called VISUMAX RELEX SMILE. This technique was bladeless, flapless, painless and caused no dryness. It was the first technique which did not use Excimer laser. It was all Femto surgery.
-
What is Concept of TOPO VISION ?CORNEAL IRREGULARITIES REMOVAL The Excimer Laser MEL 90 fires according to the report of ATLAS 9000 and flattens all the elevated points on the cornea. This is able to create an optically perfect smooth surface of cornea, thereby highly enhancing visual sharpness and quality.
-
Am I a candidate of Bladeless Femto Lasik Laser?Every Patient is different, every eye is different. That is why every patient needs complete lasik laser work up.

-
What is a Bladeless Femto Lasik Laser?Bladeless Femto Lasik Laser vision treatment is an eye surgery in which specs are removed permanently. The cornea is the transparent front part of the eye that covers the iris, pupil, and anterior chamber . First a thin flap of 90 micron thickness (Approximately thickness of human hair) is cut on top of the cornea with the help of Visumax Femto laser made by Carl Zeiss Meditec, Germany. Now cold laser pulses of Excimer Laser are fired on the residual bed and shape of the cornea is changed according to the specs power of the patient. Bladeless Femto Lasik Laser is being performed for the past 12 years. It is a time tested technology which has treated millions of patients worldwide. Bladeless Femto Lasik can treat cylindrical, Minus and Plus numbers.
-
Will i need glasses after Bladeless Femto Lasik Laser surgery?Yes after the age of 40 our eyes start developing a natural condition called presbyopia which means that each and every human being has reduction in near vision. so whether you undergo lasik or not you will have to wear near glasses
-
How many hours after Bladeless Femto Lasik Laser surgery will i see clearly and how many hours after surgery I will be able to go to my work and drive?By next day morning you will start seeing exteremely clearly and next day you can drive on your own. how ever you have to precautions from water and dust for 10 days. you have to stay away from swimming and contact sports for three months.
-
How many types of Bladeless Femto Lasik Laser is Available?Now there are two variants of Bladeless Femto Lasik Laser available 1. Bladeless Femto Lasik Laser- This is most simple and oldest form of Lasik Laser procedure. It gives good results. but has disadvantage of slightly poor contrast and colour vision. 2. Topo Bladeless Femto Lasik Laser- In Topo lasik topo guided maps are used to make the corneal surface perfectly smooth. This produces excellent colour vision and night vision.
-
Is Bladeless Femto Lasik Laser Safe?If the workup is normal, there are no associated risk factors then Lasik is extremely safe procedure.

What is a SBK Lasik Laser?SBK Lasik Laser vision treatment is an eye surgery in which specs are removed permanently. The cornea is the transparent front part of the eye that covers the iris, pupil, and anterior chamber . First a thin flap of 90 micron thickness (Approximately thickness of human hair) is cut on top of the cornea with the help of Microkeratome (Highly sophisticated blade). Now cold laser pulses of Excimer Laser are fired on the residual bed and shape of the cornea is changed according to the specs power of the patient. SBK Lasik Laser is being performed for the past 25 years. It is most time tested technology which has treated more than 30 million patients worldwide. SBK Lasik can treat cylindrical, Minus and Plus numbers.

Am i fit for ICL?Every Patient is different, every eye is different. That is why every patient needs complete ICL work up. During workup Patient's vision Pentacam scan AC Depth of Eye to check if there is space for ICL in the eye Size of Cornea with calipar retina check If your workup is normal, if your age is above 18, if your number is stable, If your retina is healthy then you are fit for ICL. Most of the patients who are unfit for lasik due to thin cornea or big number are fit for ICL.
-
What are the benefits of ICL?ICL does not bring any permanent change in the eye. It is complete reversible if the patient is unhappy with the vision lens can be removed. ICL can treat very large numbers upto -24D where as Lasik Laser can treat upto -10D ICL can treat Patient with very thin corneas where as Lasik Laser can not be done on thin corneas. Like Lasik ICL can not be seen or felt.Once done it becomes part of your body. Quality of vision with ICL is as good as Lasik Laser. Time taken for ICL surgery is only 10 minutes like Lasik Laser.
-
Where is ICL placed in the Eye?A trained ophthalmologist will insert the ICL through a small micro-incison, placing it inside the eye just behind the iris in front of the eye’s natural lens. The ICL is designed not to touch any internal eye structures and stay in place with no special care.
-
What is an ICL?ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens or Implantable Contact Lens) is a lens that is put inside the eye. It can correct refractive error from +10D to -25D. For putting ICL we don't need to remove natural crystalline lens of the eye.
-
What is ICL made of?The ICL is made of Collamer®, a highly biocompatible advanced lens material which contains a small amount of purified collagen. Collamer does not cause a reaction inside the eye and it contains an ultraviolet filter that provides protection to the eye. Collamer is a material proprietary to STAAR Surgical Company, the company that manufactures ICL.
-
What is Keratoconus?Keratoconus is an illness of both eyes in which the outer transparent layer of the eye becomes thinner. As a result of which it unable to bear the intraocular pressure and starts protruding outwards in the shape of a cone. Keratoconus is a potentially blinding condition. Our cornea is made of a special protein called collagen. In keratoconus, the amount of collagen in cornea decreases and the inter collagen bonds also decrease. As a result of which whole of the cornea becomes very weak. Particularly at the tip of the cone.
-
What are the sign and symptoms of Keratoconus ?Defective vision Frequent change in glasses Best corrected vision less than 6/6 Diplopia Photo phobia
-
How is keratoconus diagnosed?Early keratoconus is very difficult to diagnose. If the patient reports of any of the symptoms of keratoconus mentioned above than eye doctor gets his corneal topography, pachymetry and pentacam scan done. These tests tell us the amount of keratoconus and help us in planning the treatment.
-
What is the treatment of Keratoconus?Contact Lens:- Early keratoconus can be treated with RGP Lenses. however, as the keratoconus increases the tolerance to RGP Lenses decreases and in advanced keratoconus, it is very difficult to fit an RGP Lens. But as a rule, RGP Lens gives better vision than specs in keratoconus patients. earlier RGP contact lenses were used to treat keratoconus. but RGP lenses were poorly tolerated by patient. Now new generation SCL on Scleral contact lenses are given which are very comfortable to eyes. C3R:- C3R is a revolutionary new treatment of keratoconus where the eye is treated with ultraviolet light and vitamin B2. This increases the collagen protein inner bonds by many times. The cornea becomes 300% stronger. Keratoconus stops increasing immediately. However the loss of vision that has already occurred can not be reversed. For that patient has to wear glasses or lenses INTACS (Intra Stromal Ring Segment):- These are special ring segments made of plastic that are put on side of cornea. They mechanically pull the cornea sideways and the cone inwards. In combination with C3R, they are very effective in treating keratoconus. Corneal Transplant:- When the keratoconus is so advanced that all the previous mentioned treatment fail or the cornea perforates than the only treatment left is corneal Transplant
