Permanent vision correction surgery for patients from Chandigarh and Chandigarh. Painless, 10-minute procedure. Achieve 6/6 vision without glasses or contacts. ZEISS SMILE Pro — India's most advanced laser technology.
Millions of people across India wear glasses or contact lenses every single day. If you are from Chandigarh and wish to experience the freedom of clear, natural vision, LASIK and SMILE Pro surgery at Brar Eye Hospital can make that dream a reality. We have helped thousands of patients from across Punjab achieve spectacle-free vision with our advanced refractive surgery programme.
Refractive surgery corrects the underlying optical error in the eye — whether it is myopia (short-sightedness), hyperopia (long-sightedness), or astigmatism — by permanently reshaping the cornea using a laser. The result is sharp, clear vision without the need for any optical aids. The procedure takes about 10 minutes for both eyes combined, recovery is rapid, and most patients from Chandigarh notice dramatic vision improvement within hours of surgery.
At Brar Eye Hospital, we offer multiple refractive surgery options including ZEISS SMILE Pro (the world's most advanced option), traditional LASIK, Contoura Vision (topography-guided LASIK), and ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) for patients not suitable for laser surgery. Our refractive surgery team conducts a comprehensive pre-operative evaluation to determine which procedure is safest and most effective for your individual eyes.
Patients from Chandigarh often ask us to compare LASIK and SMILE Pro. Here is a clear comparison to help you understand the key differences:
| Feature | Traditional LASIK | ZEISS SMILE Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Corneal Flap | Yes (created with microkeratome or laser) | No flap – flapless procedure |
| Laser Time per Eye | 20–30 seconds | 10 seconds (fastest available) |
| Dry Eye Risk | Moderate (flap cuts corneal nerves) | Minimal (nerve preservation) |
| Suitable for Active Life | Good, but flap risk exists | Excellent – no flap displacement risk |
| Recovery Time | 1–2 days for clear vision | Same day or next day |
| High Myopia Treatment | Up to -8D | Up to -10D |
| Thin Cornea Suitability | Limited | Better (less tissue removal) |
| Technology | Excimer Laser | ZEISS VisuMax 800 Femtosecond |
Both procedures are safe and effective for suitable candidates from Chandigarh. Our refractive surgery team will determine your eligibility through a comprehensive pre-operative screening and recommend the best option for your eyes, lifestyle, and budget.
Most patients achieve 6/6 or better vision permanently after a single treatment session.
The entire SMILE Pro treatment takes 10 seconds of laser per eye. You are in and out in under 30 minutes.
SMILE Pro preserves more corneal nerves than LASIK, resulting in significantly less post-operative dry eye symptoms.
The flapless design eliminates the risk of flap-related complications, making it ideal for patients with active or contact-sport lifestyles.
Patients experience less halos, glare, and light sensitivity compared to traditional LASIK, especially during night driving.
Most patients from Chandigarh can travel home comfortably on the same day and resume light work within 24 hours.
Most patients from Chandigarh aged 18–45 years with stable refractive power are suitable candidates for laser vision correction. Here are the general eligibility criteria:
Even if you have been told elsewhere that you are not suitable for LASIK, you may be eligible for SMILE Pro or ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens). We conduct a free pre-operative screening at our centre in Bathinda to determine your eligibility. Patients from Chandigarh can call +91 72182-72182 to schedule their free screening appointment.
