Honest information
SMILE Eye Surgery is a safe procedure with a high success rate, but as with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks and side effects.
Dry eyes
Temporary dryness and discomfort are common post-surgery. Usually resolves within a few weeks.
Halos or glare
Some patients may experience halos around lights, particularly at night. Often improves over time.
Infection
Low risk with proper post-operative care and medication. Signs include redness, pain, or discharge.
Vision fluctuation
Minor changes in vision might occur as the eye heals, typically stabilizing within a few weeks.
Undercorrection or overcorrection
Rare instances may require additional corrective procedures.
If something concerns you at home
Follow the post-op care instructions diligently, use prescribed eye drops, and attend all follow-up appointments. Avoid rubbing your eyes and protect them from dust and bright sunlight.
