SmartSight: The Next Generation of Laser Vision Correction

If you're looking for a modern way to reduce your dependence on eyeglasses or contact lenses, SmartSight may be the vision correction solution you've been waiting for.

As one of the latest advancements in refractive surgery, SmartSight offers a minimally invasive approach to improving vision while providing excellent visual outcomes for qualified patients. At Premiere Eye Referral Center & Optical, we are committed to bringing innovative technology and personalized eye care to help patients achieve clearer vision with confidence.

Before undergoing any laser procedure, every patient must complete a comprehensive eye screening test to determine whether SmartSight is the most suitable option for their eyes.

What is SmartSight?

SmartSight is a minimally invasive laser vision correction procedure that uses a femtosecond laser to reshape the cornea and correct refractive errors such as:

• Nearsightedness (Myopia)
• Astigmatism

Unlike traditional procedures that require creating a corneal flap, SmartSight is performed through a small incision, preserving more of the cornea's natural structure while effectively improving vision.

The procedure is designed to provide precise, predictable results with a focus on patient comfort and faster visual recovery.

Similar to CLEAR® and SMILE®

Patients often ask about the difference between SmartSight, CLEAR, and SMILE.

The answer is that these procedures are very similar in concept and surgical technique. All three are flapless laser vision correction procedures that correct vision by creating a tiny lenticule within the cornea and removing it through a small incision, eliminating the need to create a corneal flap as in traditional LASIK eye surgery.

The primary difference lies in the laser platform and technology used by each manufacturer:

• SmartSight is performed using the SCHWIND ATOS femtosecond laser.
• SMILE® is performed using the ZEISS VisuMax laser.
• CLEAR® is performed using the Ziemer FEMTO laser platform.

While each system has its own proprietary software and engineering, they all share the same goal: providing safe, precise, minimally invasive vision correction for qualified patients.

Your ophthalmologist will recommend the most appropriate procedure based on your eye condition rather than the brand name of the laser.

Powered by SCHWIND Technology

One of the reasons SmartSight has gained recognition worldwide is the technology behind it.

SmartSight is performed using the SCHWIND ATOS femtosecond laser, developed by SCHWIND eye-tech-solutions, a German company internationally recognized for its innovation in ophthalmic laser technology.

For decades, SCHWIND has been trusted by eye surgeons around the world for developing advanced laser systems used in refractive surgery. The company's commitment to precision, safety, and continuous innovation has made it one of the respected names in laser vision correction.

The SCHWIND ATOS platform is designed to deliver highly precise laser pulses while maximizing patient comfort and surgical efficiency, helping surgeons achieve predictable visual outcomes.

How Does SmartSight Work?

During the SmartSight procedure, the SCHWIND ATOS femtosecond laser creates a thin, lens-shaped piece of tissue called a lenticule inside the cornea.

Your surgeon then removes the lenticule through a very small incision, gently reshaping the cornea to improve the way light focuses on the retina.

Because the incision is significantly smaller than that used in traditional LASIK eye surgery, there is less disruption to the corneal surface, making SmartSight an attractive option for many patients.

SmartSight vs. LASIK Eye Surgery

Both SmartSight and LASIK eye surgery are effective forms of vision correction, but they differ in technique.

LASIK eye surgery involves creating a corneal flap before reshaping the underlying corneal tissue with an excimer laser.

SmartSight, on the other hand:

• Does not require creating a corneal flap.
• Uses only a small incision.
• Preserves more corneal nerves.
• May reduce the likelihood of post-operative dry eye symptoms in some patients.
• Is ideal for patients with active lifestyles, athletes, military personnel, and individuals whose work involves physical contact or rigorous activities.

SmartSight vs. PRK Eye Surgery

Like SmartSight, PRK eye surgery is also a flapless laser vision correction procedure.

However, the two procedures are performed differently.

With PRK eye surgery, the outer layer of the cornea (epithelium) is gently removed before the cornea is reshaped using an excimer laser. The surface layer naturally regenerates during healing, which typically requires a longer recovery period.

SmartSight preserves the corneal surface by using only a small incision, allowing many patients to experience greater comfort and a quicker recovery.

Both procedures are excellent options depending on the patient's corneal characteristics and overall eye health.

Who is a Good Candidate for SmartSight?

You may be a candidate for SmartSight if you:

• Are at least 18 years old.
• Have a stable eyeglass prescription.
• Have nearsightedness or astigmatism within the treatable range.
• Have healthy corneas.
• Are in good overall eye health.
• Are seeking long-term vision correction with a minimally invasive procedure.

The only way to determine your eligibility is through a comprehensive eye screening test.

Why is a Comprehensive Eye Screening Test Necessary?

Every patient's eyes are unique, which is why a comprehensive eye screening test is an essential first step before any laser vision correction procedure.

At Premiere Eye Referral Center & Optical, our specialists perform a series of advanced diagnostic tests to evaluate:

• Corneal thickness
• Corneal shape and topography
• Eye prescription
• Tear quality
• Retinal health
• Overall eye condition

These results help determine whether SmartSight, LASIK eye surgery, PRK eye surgery, or another treatment is the safest and most effective option for your eyes.

Benefits of SmartSight

Patients who qualify for SmartSight may enjoy several advantages, including:

• Flapless, minimally invasive procedure
• Small-incision technique
• Excellent visual outcomes
• Greater corneal stability
• Reduced disruption of corneal nerves
• Fast visual recovery for many patients
• Long-lasting vision correction
• Ideal for active lifestyles and physically demanding professions

Because every patient heals differently, your ophthalmologist will discuss the expected recovery process and provide personalized post-operative care instructions.
