This modern, minimally invasive procedure, SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) surgery, can treat astigmatism and mild to severe nearsightedness. They have performed this trusted method hundreds of times, and it continues to grow in popularity. At Kelly Vision Center, their team pioneered this technique. They are currently one of the few centers that provide custom vision correction procedures in the Manhattan and Garden City area.

Benefits of this treatment include:

·         Surgery is performed without blades and is gentle and fast

·         It can permanently improve vision

·         As a minimally invasive procedure, it causes little to no pain

·         The patient can return to their routine a day after their procedure

·         It is FDA approved to treat astigmatism and nearsightedness

·         Less dry eye and discomfort long term than other types of eye surgery

·         Freedom from contacts or glasses 

When someone experiences nearsightedness, it is because their cornea is either curved or slightly too long. This condition causes blurry distance vision when light focuses incorrectly. The SMILE procedure uses a quick femtosecond laser that modifies the shape of the cornea from inside to focus light properly. Traditional Lasik involves a surgical flap made on the eye’s surface.

SMILE is a single-step, single laser procedure that combines safety and technology for greater comfort and confidence. Dr. Kelly creates a small key-hole incision to remove minute amounts of corneal tissue with targeted laser light in about 25 seconds. With the tissue removed, the cornea is reshaped, and vision is corrected. Because lasers are used and not blades, it is less invasive, and healing time is faster.

At Kelly Vision Center, we offer skilled corrective eye surgery by an experienced team as an outpatient procedure for those living with conditions, such as:
