LASIK Surgery and SMILE- A Comparison - Dr. Kevin Niksarli May 2014 | Page 2

Advantages of SMILE over Lasik Procedure
In spite of proven efficacy, LASIK surgery requires two different laser machines- One for the flap creation
and the other for exciter ablation. This is sure to increase the cost of the refractive correction surgery.
SMILE user only one machine and reduces surgical costs. There is no flap creation and therefore there is
reduced risk of side effects like dry eyes. SMILE can be employed for treating high myopia without the
extra costs involved in visual rehabilitation following LASIK enhancement.
