A Leap Forward in Vision Correction

Let’s face it. Glasses and contact lenses can slow you down. Whether you’re someone with an active lifestyle, a working professional, or simply tired of adjusting to frames and lenses, the idea of permanent vision correction is life-changing. That’s where SMILE Pro and PRESBYOND come in.

But that’s not all.

As part of the ZEISS Refractive Suite, Innocent Hearts Eye Hospital now offers the full spectrum of refractive solutions so every patient, regardless of age, eye power, or eye condition, gets a tailored treatment plan.

From advanced SMILE Pro surgery to Femto-LASIK, PRK, and ICL implantation, the suite is designed to address every type of refractive error like myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and even presbyopia.

What Is SMILE Pro and Why Is Everyone Talking About It?

SMILE Pro (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction – Professional) is a minimally invasive laser eye surgery that treats nearsightedness and astigmatism using the VisuMax® 800 femtosecond laser from ZEISS. It is currently one of the fastest and safest vision correction techniques in the world.

What makes it different?

  • The laser portion lasts just 10 seconds per eye
  • No flap is created, which means fewer complications and faster healing
  • Only a small incision is made, about 2 mm, making the entire procedure far less invasive than traditional LASIK
  • The experience is smooth, silent, and extremely comfortable

And the best part? Recovery is incredibly quick. Most patients are back to work, reading, and even using screens within 24 hours.

If you’ve been considering freedom from specs or contact lenses, SMILE Pro is the upgrade you didn’t know your eyes needed.

PRESBYOND: A Game-Changer for 40+

As we age, our eyes naturally lose the ability to focus on nearby objects, a condition called presbyopia. Reading menus, mobile screens, or newspapers without glasses starts to feel like a struggle. PRESBYOND Laser Blended Vision is ZEISS’s answer to this.

It’s not your regular LASIK. PRESBYOND uses wavefront-optimized LASIK with a personalized treatment strategy to help both eyes work together harmoniously so you can see clearly at all distances. Unlike traditional monovision, it doesn’t compromise your depth perception or contrast sensitivity.

It is tailor-made for individuals in their 40s and beyond who want to regain near vision without the daily dependency on reading glasses.

What Else Is Included in the ZEISS Refractive Suite?

The full ZEISS Refractive Suite at Innocent Hearts includes multiple refractive procedures beyond SMILE Pro and PRESBYOND:

1. Femto-LASIK (Femtosecond Laser-Assisted LASIK)

A bladeless, all-laser alternative to traditional LASIK. This two-step laser surgery is suitable for patients not eligible for SMILE Pro or who prefer a flap-based procedure.

  • Uses femtosecond and excimer lasers
  • High precision with customizable ablation
  • Ideal for moderate to high myopia or thin corneas

2. PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy)

One of the earliest laser vision correction techniques, still preferred for certain corneal conditions or when LASIK or SMILE isn’t suitable.

  • Surface-based, no flap
  • More healing time needed than SMILE or Femto
  • Safe and effective for thinner corneas

3. ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens)

Not a laser procedure, but a phakic intraocular lens implanted inside the eye, perfect for patients with very high myopia or dry eyes.

  • Reversible and stable vision correction
  • Suitable even for those ineligible for LASIK or SMILE
  • Offers superior night vision and clarity

Whether you’re 18 or 50, have mild specs or very high power, or are dealing with specific corneal issues, there’s a treatment designed for your eyes.

Who Can Get These Treatments?

Most vision correction procedures are suitable for people aged 18 to 50 years, but eligibility depends on:

  • Stable eye power for at least a year
  • No active eye diseases like infections or keratoconus
  • No uncontrolled diabetes or autoimmune conditions
  • A healthy corneal thickness and structure

If you’ve been told you’re not fit for LASIK, don’t lose hope. ICL or PRK might still be an option. A proper screening at Innocent Hearts will guide you toward the safest path forward.

Here’s a general overview of eye surgery cost in Punjab at Innocent Hearts Eye Hospital. These are estimates and may vary based on specific eye conditions, tests, and lens choices:

Common Questions About ZEISS Refractive Suite

1. What is the ZEISS Refractive Suite?
The ZEISS Refractive Suite is an advanced all in one system for laser vision correction developed by Carl Zeiss, a world leader in precision optics. It combines state‑of‑the‑art diagnostic imaging, surgical planning and laser treatment into one seamless workflow so every patient receives a bespoke procedure. Innocent Hearts Eye Hospital in Jalandhar is the first centre in Punjab to offer this cutting‑edge platform to its patients.

2. Why is the ZEISS Refractive Suite considered superior to conventional LASIK systems?
Unlike older LASIK setups that require multiple manual steps and alignment checks, the ZEISS platform automates the entire process from eye mapping to treatment delivery. This reduces the chance of human error, shortens procedure times and provides consistent results. Patients experience a smoother treatment with faster recovery and very precise visual outcomes.

3. Which vision problems can be corrected with the ZEISS Refractive Suite?
This technology can correct nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. It is ideal for anyone who depends on glasses or contacts and wants a more permanent solution. By using high‑definition measurements of each eye, the suite delivers personalized treatments that improve clarity and reduce reliance on visual aids.

4. Who is a good candidate for treatment using the ZEISS Refractive Suite?
Good candidates are adults over 18 with a stable prescription for at least one year and healthy corneas without active eye diseases such as cataracts or glaucoma. The only way to confirm eligibility is through a detailed eye evaluation at Innocent Hearts Eye Hospital, where corneal mapping and other diagnostic tests determine whether you can benefit from laser vision correction.

5. What is SMILE surgery and how does it differ from LASIK?
SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) is a minimally invasive procedure offered by the ZEISS Refractive Suite that removes a small disc‑shaped piece of corneal tissue through a tiny incision instead of creating a large flap. This approach preserves corneal strength, reduces dry‑eye symptoms and offers faster healing compared to traditional LASIK, making SMILE especially popular among people with higher prescriptions and those who play contact sports.

6. Is the procedure painful or uncomfortable?
Patients receive numbing eye drops before the treatment so they feel no pain during the procedure. Most report only mild pressure for a few seconds and brief gritty sensations afterward. Any discomfort typically subsides within a few hours and is easily managed with standard postoperative care.

7. How long does the surgery take and what is the recovery period?
The laser application itself takes only a few minutes per eye, and the entire visit usually lasts under 30 minutes including preparation and post‑procedure checks. Most patients notice improved vision within the first 24 hours and return to normal activities within a day or two. Full visual stability may take a few weeks, but most people resume work and daily routines almost immediately.

8. Is the ZEISS Refractive Suite safe?
Yes, the suite is known for its safety and reliability. ZEISS technology is trusted by leading eye hospitals worldwide and includes multiple built‑in safety protocols, high‑resolution imaging and micron‑level laser precision. At Innocent Hearts Eye Hospital, experienced surgeons follow strict guidelines and use advanced monitoring systems to ensure every procedure meets the highest standards.

9. Why should I choose Innocent Hearts Eye Hospital for my laser vision correction?
Innocent Hearts Eye Hospital is the first Centre in Punjab to offer the complete ZEISS Refractive Suite. It brings together world‑class technology and a highly skilled ophthalmology team under one roof. The hospital’s patient‑first approach, advanced diagnostic equipment and commitment to quality care make it a top choice for anyone considering laser vision correction.

10. How do I schedule a consultation and determine if I am a candidate?

During your visit, specialists will perform a comprehensive eye examination using ZEISS diagnostic tools, explain your treatment options and answer any questions you have.
