⚡ <10 seconds laser time per eye | Day-care procedure
Most patients notice improved vision within hours of the procedure. You may experience mild light sensitivity or watering for the first few hours this is normal and resolves quickly. Rest your eyes for the remainder of the day. Protective eyewear is provided.

A detailed pre-surgery evaluation at Vasu Eye Institute will confirm your eligibility. Here are the general criteria to keep in mind:
Eye power is more stable after 18, making you a better candidate for permanent correction.
Your prescription has not changed significantly for at least 12 months.
SMILE Pro+ corrects myopia up to –10D, including high myopia not always treatable with LASIK.
SMILE Pro+ with cyclotorsion compensation corrects even high cylinder powers precisely.
Minimum ~480 microns SMILE Pro+ is feasible even for slightly thinner corneas not suitable for LASIK.
No flap = no flap dislodgement risk. Ideal for sportspeople, military aspirants, and active professionals.
Very thin corneas may not have sufficient tissue for safe
lenticule extraction.
A condition causing progressive corneal thinning
requires separate specialist management.
Surgery is deferred until power has been stable for at least
12 months.
Any active ocular condition must be fully treated
and resolved before surgery.
💡Not sure if you’re eligible? The only way to know for certain is a comprehensive pre-surgery evaluation. At Vasu Eye Institute, this evaluation is completely. Book yours today our team will give you an honest assessment with no obligation.
Unlike LASIK, which cuts a 20mm corneal flap, SMILE Pro+ uses only a tiny 2–3mm keyhole incision. Your corneal structure stays largely intact safer and more stable.
The ZEISS VISUMAX 800 delivers the complete laser step in under 10 seconds. Less time under the laser means less stress on the eye and greater patient comfort.
Because no flap is created, far fewer corneal nerves are disrupted. Clinical evidence shows significantly reduced dry-eye symptoms compared to traditional LASIK.
Powered by artificial intelligence and cyclotorsion compensation (advanced eye-tracking), SMILE Pro+ corrects even high cylinder powers with exceptional accuracy.
Most patients notice improved vision immediately after the procedure. By the next morning, most can return to work, studies, and daily activities without glasses.
ZEISS SMILE technology has been used in over 10 million successful procedures worldwide. SMILE Pro+ on the VISUMAX 800 is its most advanced iteration to up date.

Everything you want to know about SMILE Pro+ in Bathinda answered simply and honestly.
SMILE Pro+ (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction Pro) is the world's most advanced flapless, bladeless laser vision correction procedure. Performed on the ZEISS VISUMAX 800, it corrects myopia and myopic astigmatism. The laser step takes under 10 seconds per eye making it the fastest refractive procedure currently available.
Yes! Vasu Eye Institute in Bathinda is the hospital in the Malwa belt to offer SMILE Pro+ on the ZEISS VISUMAX 800. Patients from Bathinda, Mansa, Muktsar, Faridkot, Ferozepur, Sangrur, Sirsa, and surrounding areas no longer need to travel to Ludhiana, Chandigarh, or Delhi for this procedure.
LASIK creates a large 20mm corneal flap before reshaping the tissue underneath. SMILE Pro+ requires only a tiny 2–3mm keyhole incision no flap at all. This means better corneal strength and stability, significantly lower dry-eye risk, a faster procedure (under 10 seconds vs 30–40 seconds for LASIK), and same-day visual recovery.
No. Anaesthetic eye drops completely numb your eyes before the procedure. Most patients describe feeling only gentle pressure during the 10-second laser step. There is no pain. Mild light sensitivity or watering for a few hours after surgery is normal and typically resolves by the next morning.
The actual laser step takes under 10 seconds per eye on the ZEISS VISUMAX 800. The full procedure, including preparation, takes approximately 20–30 minutes. You will be in the clinic for 2–3 hours on the day of surgery (including pre-op preparation and post-op recovery time), and you go home the same day.
Most patients return to desk work and screen use within 24 hours. Avoid strenuous physical activity, rubbing the eyes, swimming, and contact sports for 1 week as advised by your surgeon. Outdoor activities and sports can typically resume after 7–10 days.

Yes. SMILE Pro+ on the ZEISS VISUMAX 800 can correct myopia up to –10 diopters higher than traditional LASIK (typically limited to –8D). Its cyclotorsion compensation also enables precise correction of high astigmatism. Individual suitability must still be confirmed by a pre-surgery evaluation.
No obligation. No sales pressure. Just an honest assessment of your eyes.
