An expert helps her daughter SMILE

Dr. Li Ying, Peking Union Medical College Hospital

Dr. Li Ying, Peking Union Medical College Hospital

Around the world, individuals seek laser vision correction for numerous reasons. For the daughter of Dr. Yi Ling, physical appearance and spectacle independence played key roles in turning to laser surgery.

With ZEISS SMILE, only a small incision of 2 mm is sufficient, meaning that the majority of the upper corneal layers remains untouched. What's more, the patient can usually return to their normal daily activities the next day – a big selling point for younger patients with active lifestyles.    

My daughter doesn’t want to wear spectacles due to beauty. More than 1.2 million SMILE eyes have been done in China. It’s proved to be safe, less invasive [with] fast recovery. That’s why I chose to do SMILE surgery for my daughter.1 She is very satisfied with her outcomes and I made [the] right choice for her.

Seeing your own technology in a new light

Burkhard Wagner, Product Manager at Carl Zeiss Meditec

Burkhard Wagner, Product Manager at Carl Zeiss Meditec

As a Product Manager for Refractive Lasers at Carl Zeiss Meditec since 2011, Burkhard Wagner knows the market inside and out. After years of wearing contact lenses and glasses, he experienced damage to his cornea. With utmost trust in the technology he helped create, Burkhard confidently chose laser vision correction surgery with Lenticule Extraction with SMILE from ZEISS.

Going into surgery, Burkhard knew what to expect at every step of the well-established procedure, including its minimally invasive nature and fast healing times.

For years my eyes were framed by a pair of thick, heavy glasses. My prescription was -8.25 diopters for my left eye, and -6.5 for my right. At a certain point, I was fed up – I had had enough of limited vision, fogged-up glasses and frames that repeatedly slid down my nose.3 The next day [after surgery] I could feel that my eyes had already recovered – my vision was sharp. After a post-op examination, I headed home – drove home, actually – without glasses or contact lenses for the very first time in my life.3
