WHAT IS SMILE?

SMILE is the latest in laser vision correction for myopia (nearsghtedness), providing LASIK-like outcomes in a minimallyinvasive procedure. A laser is used to create a thin contact-lensshape layer just beneath the surface of the eye and then a small opening through which that layer is removed, correcting your vision. Worldwide, over 750,000 SMILE procedures have been performed by more than 1,000 surgeons. And these numbers continue to grow every day! In fact, SMILE is the fastest-growing laser vision correction

The staff is extremely compassionate and kind. I think Dr. Mellgren is amazing and she talks to her patients with "regular" language and not "Doctorese". She is very down to earth and easy to understand.
