At BoydVision, we’re always striving to provide our patients with the latest and most advanced vision correction solutions. That’s why we are proud to introduce SmartSight (an alternative to SMILE), a groundbreaking procedure powered by the Schwind ATOS Femtosecond Laser. As the first private clinic in British Columbia to offer this technology, we’re bringing a new level of precision, safety, and comfort to laser eye surgery in Vancouver and Burnaby.
But what makes SmartSight so revolutionary? Let’s explore its history, technology, and the benefits it offers to patients seeking freedom from glasses and contact lenses.
The Evolution of SmartSight
SmartSight is built on decades of innovation in laser eye surgery. The journey began in the 1980s with the introduction of PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy), the first widely adopted laser procedure to reshape the cornea. This was followed by LASIK in the 1990s, which added the creation of a corneal flap, offering quicker recovery times and widespread popularity.
While these procedures have transformed millions of lives, researchers and clinicians continued to seek more precise and minimally invasive techniques. This led to the development of lenticule extraction, the foundation of SmartSight. By focusing on reshaping the cornea without large incisions, this technology offers a safer and more comfortable alternative for patients.
SmartSight uses the Schwind ATOS Femtosecond Laser, one of the most advanced lasers available today. Its ultra-fast pulses enable highly accurate reshaping of the cornea, allowing for personalized treatments tailored to each patient’s unique vision needs.
Why SmartSight is a Game-Changer
- Minimally Invasive Technology:
Unlike traditional procedures, SmartSight reshapes the cornea through lenticule extraction. This approach reduces the need for significant tissue removal or large incisions, which means quicker recovery and fewer risks for patients. - Enhanced Precision:
The Schwind ATOS Femtosecond Laser can perform adjustments at a micron level—smaller than a strand of human hair—ensuring unmatched accuracy and customization for every patient. - Improved Safety:
SmartSight minimizes complications associated with traditional laser surgeries, such as dry eye syndrome and flap-related issues.
Global Impact:
Since its introduction, lenticule extraction procedures like SmartSight have gained popularity worldwide. Studies show that over 1 million procedures have been performed globally, with patient satisfaction rates exceeding 95%.
