How does SmartSight™ laser surgery work?
SmartSight™ with the Schwind ATOS femtosecond laser is the latest innovation in laser eye surgery, using minimally invasive techniques for rapid healing after laser vision correction.
SmartSight™ employs keratorefractive lenticule extraction (KLex) , an evolution of the SMILE™ procedure, incorporating advanced eye tracking and tissue-saving technology for precise vision correction. This minimally invasive, flapless technique ensures quick recovery and minimal discomfort.
VIDEO ANIMATION
OCL Vision was the first UK clinic to offer this state-of-the-art procedure.
As well as one of the first in the world, working closely with Schwind to pioneer this treatment.
During the procedure, your eye is numbed with drops, making it painless. The Schwind ATOS Femtosecond laser creates a corrective lens within the cornea in 30-40 seconds. You may feel mild pressure, but the process is swift and precise. The surgeon removes the lens-shaped tissue through a tiny keyhole, allowing the cornea to naturally reshape and correct your vision.
Post-surgery, mild irritation is common but subsides within a few hours. Follow-up appointments ensure proper healing and confirm the success of the vision correction. With SmartSight™, you can achieve exceptional visual results with the most advanced laser technology available.

Emma Laser Eye surgeryThe way I was dealt by Dr Laginaf was nothing short of outstanding. She went above and beyond and I would like to thank Dr Laginaf for the attention to detail.
Suhail VitrectomyGreat experience with Dr Chien Wong and his team. I needed to have three separate operations to repair a detached retina and poor NHS interventions. Amazing care and treatment and 2 years later still very grateful for their efforts.
Gordon Cataract SurgerySo much care, from the initial enquiry to the final check-up, every team member treats you as if you are the most important person they have ever dealt with. I completed my treatment feeling valued and with better than 20/20 vision.

SmartSight™ FAQs
View knowledge baseAm I a suitable candidate for SmartSight™ vision correction surgery?
Ideal candidates for SmartSight™ are those with stable vision and common refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism or a combination of these. As well as being suitable for those considering LASIK surgery, it's particularly beneficial for individuals who require quicker dry eye recovery. A comprehensive eye examination by your eye surgeon of choice at OCL Vision will determine if SmartSight™ is the best option for your specific vision needs.
How long does the SmartSight™ procedure take, and what is the recovery time?
The SmartSight™ procedure itself is quick, typically taking only about 4 -5 minutes per eye. Recovery time is rapid, with most people experiencing minimal discomfort and returning to normal activities within a day or two. Full visual stabilisation normally occurs within a week.
What are the potential side effects of SmartSight™ laser eye surgery?
The results of SmartSight™ laser eye surgery are long-lasting and can significantly reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses. You will enjoy stable, clear vision for many years after the procedure. However, as with any vision correction surgery, natural age-related changes in the eyes can occur over time, and a small minority of people may require additional vision correction in the form of an enhancement later in life. Regular eye exams are recommended to monitor eye health and vision quality.
