ZEISS celebrates milestone: Over 10 million eyes treated with SMILE and SMILE Pro
ZEISS, the global leader in optical and medical technology, has recently reached a significant milestone: more than 10 million eyes have been treated worldwide with the innovative SMILE and SMILE Pro laser eye procedures. This impressive figure underlines not only the global success of the technology, but also the trust that patients and ophthalmologists place in this minimally invasive method.
EuroEyes: Leading provider of SMILE treatments in Germany
An outstanding example of the spread of SMILE technology is the renowned eye clinic group EuroEyes. Since 2015, EuroEyes has carried out the most SMILE treatments in Germany every year and has thus played a key role in making this advanced technology accessible to more and more people. With locations in 18 German cities as well as internationally, EuroEyes has made the SMILE method an integral part of refractive surgery and has played a central role in the success of ZEISS.
SMILE: The most modern, safest and gentlest laser eye procedure
SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) is considered the most modern, safest and gentlest procedure for correcting vision defects such as short-sightedness and astigmatism. In contrast to traditional LASIK procedures, which require a larger flap to be created on the cornea, SMILE is a minimally invasive procedure. A lenticule is removed from inside the cornea through an entrance just a few millimeters in size to improve vision. This method minimizes the risk of complications and ensures faster healing with precise and stable results.
The advantages of SMILE include:
Faster recovery time compared to other procedures
Minimal intervention and therefore no risk of dry eyes
Precise and stable results even with high diopter values
With the introduction of SMILE Pro, a further development of the original procedure, ZEISS has been able to make the technology even more efficient and patient-friendly. With improved laser technology and shorter treatment times, SMILE Pro sets new standards in refractive surgery.
Enthusiasm among ophthalmologists worldwide
The revolution that SMILE and SMILE Pro have triggered in ophthalmology is being recognized by leading eye surgeons worldwide. In a recently published video from ZEISS, renowned eye surgeons from around the world talk about their experiences with the procedure. They are enthusiastic about the precision, safety and impressive results they observe in their patients. The high level of patient satisfaction and the minimal complications associated with the SMILE method are particularly emphasized.
The video illustrates how SMILE has improved the lives of millions of people by enabling them to live without glasses or contact lenses. The ophthalmologists who use the method agree: SMILE is the future of laser eye surgery and a procedure that will continue to grow in importance in the coming years.
Conclusion
With the milestone of over 10 million SMILE and SMILE Pro treatments worldwide, ZEISS confirms its leading role in refractive surgery. Through the continuous development of this technology and the support of highly qualified partners such as EuroEyes, ZEISS is setting new standards in the correction of visual defects. SMILE is not only an innovative solution, but also proof of how modern medical technology can have a positive impact on the lives of millions of people.
