👓 Thinking about ditching your glasses for good?
With laser refractive surgery (e.g. SMILE, CLEAR, SmartSight & SILK), many enjoy clear vision without the hassle of glasses or contacts, sometimes for life!
But will you still need glasses later on?
🔍 The short answer: Maybe and here’s why:
1️⃣ Ageing (Presbyopia)
Typically after 40, your natural lens loses flexibility, making close-up tasks like reading difficulty. That’s why reading glasses may still be needed, even if you had perfect vision after surgery!
2️⃣ Injury or Trauma
Accidents or eye conditions may alter the shape of your cornea or lens, affecting your vision.
3️⃣ Environmental Exposure
UV exposure, dry eyes, or occupational strain can gradually impact visual clarity.
💡 While laser surgery reduces your dependence on glasses, it cannot stop natural ageing or external factors. However, you can now preserve your own corneal lenticules post-surgery as your own biological resource, with future potential to treat eye-related conditions*.

*Eye conditions treatable by lenticule implantation are currently under clinical trials.
**Results may vary for individuals and cannot be guaranteed. To determine your eligibility for SMILE, a refractive assessment is required.
