Large-Scale Indian Study Validates AI-Enhanced SMILE Laser Technology for Myopia Correction

- Nethradhama Super Speciality Eye Hospital conducted a large-scale study of 1,500 eyes demonstrating that next-generation SMILE laser technology achieves 98% of patients reaching 20/20 vision or better within 15 days. - The VisuMax 800 femtosecond laser system, developed by ZEISS in collaboration with Prof. Dr. Sri Ganesh, represents one of the largest reported datasets globally for Small Incision Lenticule Extraction procedures. - The study showed significantly reduced intraoperative risks with suction loss occurring in only 0.06% of cases compared to 0.5% in previous systems, while maintaining high refractive accuracy. - The AI-enabled technology includes automated alignment tools allowing surgeons to perform procedures in under 10 seconds of laser time with enhanced precision and safety.
