SMILE pro Why Shinsegae Eye Center?

Power of clinical data

0+

Years of accumulated SMILE surgery expertise
yields surgical design values optimized for each patient's eyes.

No-wait system

4units owned

Two VISUMAX 800 and two VISUMAX 500 units
run together for optimal surgery without delays.

Pioneer adoption in Korea

First introduced

Only 25 clinics nationwide were first to introduce SMILE pro,
and in Gwangju·Jeonnam, we are the only clinic to pioneer it.

Shinsegae×VISUMAX 800

Overwhelming speed in just 10 seconds

Laser exposure shortened to under 10 seconds,
reducing eye stress and infection risk.

Automatic centration correction

Automatically detects subtle eye rotation and astigmatism axis
for precise vision correction with less error.

Zero pressure sensation

An open-feel robotic-arm system
keeps you comfortable throughout surgery.

SMILE pro advantages

  • Ultra-precise lenticule separation icon

    Ultra-precise lenticule separation

    Uniform laser application reduces corneal deformation
    and enables smooth separation.

  • Micro-movement detection icon

    Micro-movement detection

    Detects subtle eye movement in real time
    and automatically corrects the visual axis center.

  • Precise astigmatism correction icon

    Precise astigmatism correction

    Corrects astigmatism axis rotation
    for more accurate
    astigmatism correction.

More precise vision correction with CentraLign & OcuLign

  • Real-time eye-center trackingCentraLign

    Detects subtle eye movement during surgery to keep
    the laser exposure position more accurate.

  • Precise astigmatism-axis correctionOcuLign

    Corrects astigmatism-axis rotation to deliver the laser
    more accurately at the planned correction position.

A more refined laser determines the quality of your vision

SMILE pro delivers the laser precisely where needed with uniform laser spacing, ultra-precision scanning, and fast exposure speed.
It reduces bubble clustering and corneal-deformation burden, enabling smoother, gentler separation that supports faster visual recovery.

Conventional SMILE
24-second laser exposure

Conventional SMILE laser exposure

If bubbles form during laser exposure,
surrounding tissue may be affected temporarily.

SMILE pro (SMILE® pro)

Under 10 seconds laser exposure

SMILE pro laser exposure

The 2MHz ultra-fast laser completes surgery before bubble effects reach surrounding tissue,
helping reduce stress on corneal tissue.

SMILE pro procedure

01·03
STEP 1

Eye center and astigmatism axis correction

Before surgery, the system automatically detects and corrects the visual axis center and astigmatism axis in real time.
This reduces errors that can occur during manual correction and improves laser exposure accuracy.

STEP 2

Laser exposure within 10 seconds

Exposure is completed within 10 seconds at four times the previous speed.
Shorter surgery time helps reduce suction loss (bond separation) risk and patient burden.

STEP 3

Smooth lenticule separation and completion

Precise laser exposure reduces corneal deformation and bubble formation to create a uniform lenticule.
Smooth separation of the corneal surface helps ease swelling and support faster recovery.

Who SMILE pro is for

01

High astigmatism or extreme myopia

02

Visual axis misaligned with pupil centre

03

Those with significant psychological burden about surgery time and environment

04

Corneal asymmetry or dry-eye issues

05

Thin cornea or large pupils

06

Wants fast recovery and top visual quality

Precautions After SMILE

1

Washing

You can wash your face and shower from the next day
(baths after 1 week, saunas after 2 weeks)

Face washing
2

Makeup

Basic makeup is fine from the day after surgery,
powder and eyeshadow after 1 week,
mascara and eyeliner after 2 weeks

Makeup
3

Daily Activity

Light activity is fine the next day— don't overdo it,
and return to normal activity from day two

Daily activity
4

Going Out

Protect your healing eyes from UV outdoors —
protective glasses or sunglasses are recommended

Sunglasses
5

Alcohol

Alcohol can cause inflammation after surgery,
so avoid it completely for at least one week
and avoid heavy drinking for about two weeks

Alcohol
6

Swimming

Avoid pools and places prone to eye infections
for about two weeks after surgery

Swimming
7

Driving

Take extra care for 2–3 weeks,
especially when driving at night

Driving
8

Exercise

Ball sports can impact your healing eyes, so
avoid intense sports for one month

Exercise
9

Screen Time

Fine from the day after surgery, but for 1–2 weeks
your eyes may tire easily, so
avoid long work sessions

Computer work

Surgery is only complete with aftercare

More than a one-off procedure — we'll be your lifelong vision partner.
