SMILE PRO, soon at the ophthalmology clinic in Cluj Napoca

15 February 2022 News

Refractive surgeries to correct refractive errors are most often performed with laser technology. The new device we will have available in Cluj will allow us to perform SMILE Pro, the second generation of SMILE laser surgery and the third generation of corneal curvature correction surgery. The surgery involves excision of a lenticule of corneal tissue which is then extracted with a clamp. Basically, instead of “burning” the cornea to correct its curvature, and thus its refractive index, a lenticule of corneal thickness is excised.

Smile PRO is a surgery that goes beyond the present. The capabilities of the new Zeiss Visumax camera and the technology behind it place it directly in the future. The surgery takes just 7 seconds, giving us the ability to perform dozens of surgeries a day. Smile PRO can also operate + diopters for the first time!

Dr. Teodor Holhoș performed this surgery in Amsterdam at the ESCRS. The experience we already have with the SMILE technology gives Dr. Holhoș dexterity and relaxed movements with the new device.

We will have SMILE Pro surgery available shortly at the clinic in Cluj.

Important note regarding patient consultations and surgery appointments

A patient who cancels a consultation or surgery appointment once, at least one day prior to the scheduled appointment, has the right to a second appointment under the same conditions.
If the patient cancels the second consultation and/or surgery appointment, a new appointment can be made only if the patient accepts to pay for both the consultation and the surgery in advance. This can be done either by payment order or in cash at the clinic reception.
A patient who does not show up for their consultation or surgery, who does not cancel the appointment in due time, or does not answer the clinic’s calls, may request a second appointment only if they pay for the consultation/surgery in advance.
Patients requesting an appointment for retinal surgeries or laser Prk/Femtolasik/Smile Pro must pay 30% of the cost of the surgery in advance. The appointment will be scheduled only after receiving the advance payment. If the patient is unable to attend the scheduled consultation or surgery, and cancels the intervention at least 48 hours beforehand, they will be refunded in full. If the patient does not show up and does not cancel or contact the clinic at least 48 hours in advance, the advance paid is considered to be lost as damages and will no longer be refunded.
