Review 8 years after SMILE I did it in the early-to-mid period of SMILE? around then, so the price was a bit expensive, but at that time I had to go back to work just 2-3 days after surgery, so I chose SMILE because recovery was fast. Now I get 1.2 in both eyes, and when my condition is good, it seems to be around 1.5. At night, when I’m tired, I think there’s a bit of glare/halos, but unlike other people, I haven’t had dry, gritty eyes that require artificial tears for the past 8 years, except for a few months after surgery..
I had surgery on Friday afternoon, took the bus home by myself, watched TV and did everything I needed over the weekend, and went to work on Monday with no problem at all!! I’m very, very satisfied.
