I was torn between Smile LASIK and Pro, and chose Pro because it was a bit more expensive but I have severe astigmatism, and now I am totally satisfied!!It was good because they only made a minimal incision, and the even better part is being able to go back to daily life right awayMy vision still has not dropped, either.The only downside is that my dry eye got a bit worseBut I was already living on artificial tears before the surgery!!I plan to keep taking good care of it.
