Why SMILE Pro

What makes SMILE Pro
our most advanced option

No flap. Ever.

SMILE Pro uses a 2mm micro-incision invisible to the naked eye - there's no corneal flap involved at any stage. This minimally-invasive approach is a key reason it's well suited to active lifestyles.

Flapless · minimally invasive

Drive yourself home the same day

The ZEISS laser operates for 8 seconds per eye. The entire procedure takes 15 minutes. Most patients are back at their desk the same day. No hospital stay, no general anaesthesia.

Most patients drive the same day

Designed with dry eyes in mind

Egypt has one of the world's highest dry eye rates. SMILE Pro's micro-incision preserves the corneal nerves that control tear production, which is associated with a clinically lower dry eye incidence.

Surgery day - total 2 hours at clinic
The SMILE Pro procedure - 15 minutes
You arrive, relax in our private preparation room, and receive anaesthetic eye drops. The procedure itself takes 15 minutes for both eyes - the ZEISS laser operates for 8 seconds per eye. You are fully awake. You feel mild pressure, nothing more. You walk out wearing protective glasses. A friend or driver takes you home. You rest, you sleep.
Laser: 8 seconds per eye
05
Next morning
You wake up and see clearly
Most patients message us within hours of the procedure, surprised by how much they can already see. By the same day, vision is typically sharp enough to drive, read, and work normally. A brief follow-up check confirms your recovery is progressing perfectly. Use your prescribed drops and avoid eye contact with water for 48 hours.

Patient stories

"I waited years.
I wish I did it sooner."

★★★★★
"I cried the same day. Not from pain - from the shock of being able to read my phone without reaching for my glasses for the first time in 18 years."

"I play squash three times a week. My biggest concern was safety for sports. Dr. El Naggar explained exactly why SMILE Pro is better for active patients. Three weeks after surgery I was back on court."

"I was terrified. I watched the procedure video five times before booking. The actual experience was nothing like the fear. It was 15 minutes, and by evening I could see the TV from across the room without contacts."

Common questions

Everything you need to know
before you decide

No - and this is the question everyone asks first. Anaesthetic drops numb your eye completely before we start. During the laser you feel mild pressure for about 8 seconds. Not pain - pressure. Think of a finger gently pressing on your closed eyelid. Most patients tell us they were surprised by how underwhelming it was. The fear is always worse than the reality.
The laser runs for 8 seconds per eye. Both eyes together take 15 minutes in the procedure room. You'll be at the clinic for about 2 hours total including preparation, the procedure, and a brief rest period. Plan to take the rest of that day off - most people are watching TV comfortably by evening with noticeably clearer vision already.
Most adults aged 18–55 who wear glasses or contacts for short-sightedness or astigmatism are suitable candidates. The honest answer is: we don't know until we examine your eyes. That's exactly why we start with a thorough assessment - measuring corneal thickness, prescription stability, and overall eye health. If SMILE Pro isn't right for you, we tell you clearly and recommend the best alternative. We would rather lose a surgery than risk your vision.
No hidden costs. 40,000 EGP covers the full SMILE Pro procedure on both eyes, all pre-surgery assessments, all follow-up appointments for 12 months, and prescribed eye drops for recovery. The assessment is booked separately and priced independently from the procedure. Compare that to a lifetime of glasses, contacts, solutions, and annual optician visits.
Driving: most patients are cleared the same day. Desk work and screens: same day with your prescribed drops. Light gym, walking, and most sports: next day. Swimming: 1 week. Flights: no restriction after 48 hours. We give every patient a personalised day-by-day recovery guide - no guesswork.
We tell you honestly - and that's a promise. If your corneas aren't suitable for SMILE Pro, Dr. El Naggar will explain why in detail and discuss the best alternative for your specific eyes, whether that's a different laser technique or lens-based correction. This applies regardless of the outcome. We are not in the business of performing procedures on patients who aren't ideal candidates.
