I was torn between Smile LASIK and Smile LASIK Pro, and even though the price was twice as high, since this is the only pair of eyes I'll use for life, I went with Smile LASIK Pro. First, the consultation wasn't recorded, and the price seemed similar to other hospitals when compared. The woman assigned to me was kind and nice during the consultation, but the consultation with the doctor afterward was disappointing. Maybe he was tired, I don't know, but it felt that way. The surgeon was a woman, and I don't remember her name well. I just lay down on the machine and followed the instructions, and before I knew it, it was over. Honestly, for the price, I'm not satisfied. My vision did come out at 0.9 rather than 1.0, but more than that, I chose the more expensive procedure because my astigmatism was severe, and in my experience it feels like I still have a lot of residual astigmatism. I already had severe dry eye, but I didn't feel any discomfort then either, so I can't really tell much from the sensation alone (I'm a bit dull). There is no glare, but sometimes when I wake up in the morning my eyes are briefly cloudy. And I was a little disappointed with the aftercare too. They were kind, but the extra procedures I paid for separately didn't have much effect, and I kept wondering if this price was really worth it. Still, I'm grateful that I was able to stop wearing glasses without any complications.
