I had a smile surgery. Here's what happened...

I had a laser eye surgery called ReLEx SMILE to improve my vision. That's why, in this video, I decided to I talk about my SMILE laser eye surgery experience in Finland, and how fast it healed. I hope my experience will help you to compare SMILE to PRK or LASIK.

I had SMILE in 2019 and it has ruined both my eyes. I am now partially sighted and disabled. I also need glasses more than before. The industry is not regulated and vendors operate with little care for patients. NEVER, EVER allow commercially motivated surgeons touch your healthy eyes. I try to spread my story to help others. Please thumbs up.

Thanks for the video. It sounds like you had a very successful operation.

I'm over 40 and I'm getting the SMILE Laser surgery next month. I was told that reading up close is not gonna be clear anymore, only distance vision will be clear. So you said that in the beginning reading up close for you wasn't clear and then later on you were able to read up close in clear vision?? If so, how long did that take for you to read clear up close? During my consultation, they told me since I'm over 40, I will need a reading glass for near visual such as reading text or reading a book. I appreciate your reply. :)

What was your pupil size? And the optical zone used in the surgery?

Mine is 7, 5mm and OZ would be set to 7mm but I'm having doubts about permanent glares as I have quite large pupils.

Nice vid, I might do it too. Have you noticed a change in eye strain / fatigue when working on a computer for a long time?

[TheWanderTraveller]

Good one. Thanks for making this video

It only lasts around 5years as regression is typically -0.11D per year. It's a terrible amount of damage to your corneas for just a few years of not glasses. I needed glasses after 9months.

Thanks for the video, but i have a question for you, you mentioned that you had problem with near vision, so when did it becomes clear again after the surgery?

[Fassnight]

I just had SMILE a week ago and I absolutely hate it. Everything is hazy, lights are glowing all the time, cant see up close or far away. Hate it. Wish I would have done Lasik or not at all

[e.s.]

when did your nearsight improve? How long did it take. I had my Smile surgery a few days ago and my nearsight is not so good. :(

[artongashi]

What diopter do you have and what cylinder?

[Rita]

You said your near sight wasn’t as good any more, is it because it’s a SMILE surgery and other laser procedures don’t have the same effect on close vision? I got confused. Why you said your close vision wasn’t so good anymore.

I just got my surgery and need to know if one eye being worse than the other post operation is normal? I can't really see out of one eye right now but the other is fine

[josephseo]

How long did it take for you to see clearly again after the surgery? week? months?

[viodo]

Thank you for the video. How are your eyes at the moment?

[mulsejuhl]

Where did you buy The glasses to where after The operation ?

[anushkaahsan]

After how many days after the surgery did you see absolutely clearly? It's been almost 3 weeks since may surgery and vision is still kinda hazy. Is it normal or not😢?

[KiaraShetty-bixk]

Can i wear colored contacts after smile?

[salihselevani]

How much - degree did you had before surgery? And in which age did you do the surgery?

[davidrtrains]

How are your eyes now? Any degradation?
