How do patients feel before SMILE?

Most patients feel very frustrated and annoyed by having to always wear glasses and contact lenses. They’re burdened by the need for constant contact lenses and buying new glasses, so they feel hindered by the need for glasses and contact lenses. Glasses can feel unattractive. That’s one of the main motivators for patients undergoing SMILE surgery.

Hi, my name’s Dr Anton van Heerden, from Eye Laser Specialists.

If you want to see if you’re a good candidate to have eye laser surgery, then I’d encourage you to take the self-test. It will take a few minutes of your time and give you a good idea if you can take the next step into getting better vision without glasses and contact lenses.
