Corneal flap thickness by procedure
A thinner flap — or none at all — means a stronger cornea, faster healing, and significantly less post-op dryness.
"I wore glasses for 16 years and now I have 20/20. The procedure was quick and painless — Dr. Buchsbaum even took time to calm my nerves before surgery. The best part? I can see immediately when I wake up. Best investment I ever made."

Both procedures use ZEISS femtosecond laser technology — the difference is how (or whether) a flap is made. Your free consultation determines which is right for your eyes.
AI-assisted, flapless, minimally invasive correction with the new VisuMax 800 — the latest generation of the world's gentlest laser vision procedure.

"My only regret is not getting it sooner."
As a new mom, I wanted to experience life with my son with corrected vision. I was able to take photos for his 1st birthday just 4 days after my surgery — and a new outlook on life.
"Results couldn't be better."
Dr. Niksarli and the team are fantastic. I walked in having worn glasses for 17 years and walked out with 20/15 vision.
"I can't believe how amazing the SMILE procedure was."
I chose SMILE because I was looking for fast recovery — it's hard to take time off from work. Dr. Niksarli and the team are amazing.
