Although SMILE was also developed 10 years back. It is less invasive than  LASIK , but it only works for people with myopia and, sometimes, associated astigmatism.  It is an innovative form of keyhole laser eye surgery.  SMILE laser eye surgery  is a unique treatment, using a state-of-the-art Carl Zeiss VisuMax laser. SMILE combines advantages of PRK and LASIK: it requires only a small incision, does not require a flap, and has a quick, LASIK-like recovery, with the additional benefit of no postoperative restrictions.
