Am I a Candidate?
Who is Eligible for SMILE Pro+?
A detailed pre-surgery evaluation at Vasu Eye Institute will confirm your eligibility. Here are the general criteria to keep in mind:
You May Be Eligible If…
Age 18 or Above
Eye power is more stable after 18, making you a better candidate for permanent correction.
Stable Spectacle Power (1+ Year)
Your prescription has not changed significantly for at least 12 months.
Myopia (Near-Sightedness)
SMILE Pro+ corrects myopia up to –10D, including high myopia not always treatable with LASIK.
Myopic Astigmatism
SMILE Pro+ with cyclotorsion compensation corrects even high cylinder powers precisely.
Adequate Corneal Thickness
Minimum ~480 microns SMILE Pro+ is feasible even for slightly thinner corneas not suitable for LASIK.
Active / Outdoor Lifestyle
No flap = no flap dislodgement risk. Ideal for sportspeople, military aspirants, and active professionals.
SMILE Pro+ May Not Be Suitable If…
Very Thin Corneas (<480µm)
Very thin corneas may not have sufficient tissue for safe
lenticule extraction.
Keratoconus
A condition causing progressive corneal thinning
requires separate specialist management.
Unstable / Changing Power
Surgery is deferred until power has been stable for at least
12 months.
Active Eye Infections / Disease
Any active ocular condition must be fully treated
and resolved before surgery.
💡Not sure if you’re eligible? The only way to know for certain is a comprehensive pre-surgery evaluation. At Vasu Eye Institute, this evaluation is completely. Book yours today our team will give you an honest assessment with no obligation.
1
No Flap. No Blade.
Unlike LASIK, which cuts a 20mm corneal flap, SMILE Pro+ uses only a tiny 2–3mm keyhole incision. Your corneal structure stays largely intact safer and more stable.
2
Under 10 Seconds Per Eye
The ZEISS VISUMAX 800 delivers the complete laser step in under 10 seconds. Less time under the laser means less stress on the eye and greater patient comfort.
3
Significantly Lower Dry Eye
Because no flap is created, far fewer corneal nerves are disrupted. Clinical evidence shows significantly reduced dry-eye symptoms compared to traditional LASIK.
4
AI-Driven Robotic Precision
Powered by artificial intelligence and cyclotorsion compensation (advanced eye-tracking), SMILE Pro+ corrects even high cylinder powers with exceptional accuracy.
5
Back to Routine in 24 Hours
Most patients notice improved vision immediately after the procedure. By the next morning, most can return to work, studies, and daily activities without glasses.
6
10 Million+ Procedures Globally
ZEISS SMILE technology has been used in over 10 million successful procedures worldwide. SMILE Pro+ on the VISUMAX 800 is its most advanced iteration up to date.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you want to know about SMILE Pro+ in Ambala answered simply and honestly.
1. What is SMILE Pro+ eye surgery?
2. Is SMILE Pro+ available in Ambala?
Yes! Vasu Eye Institute in Ambala is the hospital in the Malwa belt to offer SMILE Pro+ on the ZEISS VISUMAX 800. Patients from Ambala, Bathinda, Mansa, Muktsar, Faridkot, Ferozepur, Sangrur, Sirsa, and surrounding areas no longer need to travel to Ludhiana, Chandigarh, or Delhi for this procedure.
3. How is SMILE Pro+ different from LASIK?
4. How long does the SMILE Pro+ procedure take?
The actual laser step takes under 10 seconds per eye on the ZEISS VISUMAX 800. The full procedure, including preparation, takes approximately 20–30 minutes. You will be in the clinic for 2–3 hours on the day of surgery (including pre-op preparation and post-op recovery time), and you go home the same day.
5. Is SMILE Pro+ painful?
No. Anaesthetic eye drops completely numb your eyes before the procedure. Most patients describe feeling only gentle pressure during the 10-second laser step. There is no pain. Mild light sensitivity or watering for a few hours after surgery is normal and typically resolves by the next morning.
6. When can I return to work after SMILE Pro+?
Most patients return to desk work and screen use within 24 hours. Avoid strenuous physical activity, rubbing the eyes, swimming, and contact sports for 1 week as advised by your surgeon. Outdoor activities and sports can typically resume after 7–10 days.
7. Who performs SMILE Pro+ at Vasu Eye Institute?
8. Is the pre-surgery evaluation?
9. Can SMILE Pro+ correct high myopia or high astigmatism?
Yes. SMILE Pro+ on the ZEISS VISUMAX 800 can correct myopia up to –10 diopters higher than traditional LASIK (typically limited to –8D). Its cyclotorsion compensation also enables precise correction of high astigmatism. Individual suitability must still be confirmed by a pre-surgery evaluation.
