Comfort during refractive surgery is a common concern. Both SMILE and silk treatment for eyes are performed using numbing eye drops, ensuring a painless experience.

The laser portion lasts only a few minutes per eye. Patients may feel mild pressure but no significant discomfort. Silk treatment's refined laser calibration may further enhance smoothness during lenticule creation.

Most individuals describe the experience as quick and stress-free. Post-surgery discomfort is typically minimal and resolves within a few days. With expert care and reinsurance, both procedures offer a comfortable surgical journey.
