SMILE PRO Eye Surgery

SMILE Pro (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) is a minimally invasive laser vision correction procedure designed to treat common refractive errors like myopia and astigmatism. Unlike LASIK, SMILE surgery does not require creating a corneal flap, making it a flapless and bladeless technique. Instead, a laser creates a tiny lenticule inside the cornea, which is then removed through a small incision. This modern approach reduces the risk of post-surgical dry eyes, ensures faster healing, and preserves more corneal tissue, making it gentler on the eyes compared to both LASIK and PRK.

The cost of SMILE Pro eye surgery in Kolkata typically ranges from ₹55,000 to ₹85,000 for both eyes, depending on the chosen hospital, the experience of the surgeon, and the specific needs of the patient. This price generally includes pre-surgical evaluations, the surgery itself, and post-operative checkups. Factors influencing cost include the complexity of your prescription, diagnostic tests, technology used, and aftercare requirements. At UnSpecX, you can expect best care, transparent pricing, and comprehensive support.
