ZEISS SMILE® PRO 2.0 Procedure Steps
How ZEISS SMILE® PRO 2.0 Works — Step by Step:
1) Eye Preparation
Numbing drops are applied; no general anesthesia is needed.
2) Laser Application
The ZEISS VisuMax® 800 laser creates a lenticule (a thin disc-shaped piece of tissue) and a small incision.
3) Lenticule Removal
Through the micro-incision, the lenticule is gently removed, reshaping the cornea.
4) Healing Begins
No stitches are required, and the incision heals naturally.
Total laser time is approximately 8-10 seconds per eye.
