Quick Answer
SMILE Pro offers faster recovery and a minimally invasive approach, while PRK is often chosen for thinner corneas or patients unsuitable for other laser procedures. The best option depends on corneal structure, lifestyle, and long-term eye health.
As Dr. Jørn Slot Jørgensen explains, the decision is not about which treatment sounds more advanced, but which one is safest and most predictable for the individual eye. Some patients are better suited to SMILE Pro because of its speed and comfort, while others may achieve their best long-term result with PRK. A detailed eye assessment is what makes that choice clear.
| Лечение | Восстановление | Often Chosen When |
|---|---|---|
| SMILE Pro | Usually faster, with many patients returning to normal routines quickly. | The cornea is suitable, faster recovery is preferred, and a minimally invasive approach is appropriate. |
| PRK | Slower surface healing, with vision improving more gradually over days to weeks. | The cornea is thinner, surface treatment is safer, or preserving corneal structure is the priority. |
