Search structured details from individual public forum accounts. These are anecdotes, not clinical evidence or estimates of how often an outcome occurs.

A first-person SMILE account with a postoperative follow-up described the result. The source included baseline prescription values. The poster's overall assessment was favorable.
A first-person SMILE account with a postoperative follow-up described the result. Reported acuity included 20/15. Topics included dry eye, starbursts, glare, ghosting. The poster described a mixed result or a recovery with meaningful tradeoffs.
A first-person SMILE account with a postoperative follow-up described the result. The source included baseline prescription values. Reported acuity included 20/20. Topics included dry eye, starbursts, double vision. The poster described a mixed result or a recovery with meaningful tradeoffs.
A first-person SMILE account at 3 weeks described the result. Topics included blur or fluctuating vision. The source did not state a clear overall satisfaction judgment.
A first-person SMILE account with a postoperative follow-up described the result. Reported acuity included 20/20. Topics included dry eye. The source did not state a clear overall satisfaction judgment.
A first-person SMILE account at 3 weeks described the result. Topics included blur or fluctuating vision. The source did not state a clear overall satisfaction judgment.
A first-person SMILE account at 13 days described the result. Reported acuity included 6/5. Topics included halos, starbursts, blur or fluctuating vision, haze. The poster described a mixed result or a recovery with meaningful tradeoffs.
A one-week SMILE report with detailed preoperative measurements. The patient reported right -5.75 D, left -5.25 D, astigmatism, corneal thickness of 524 and 520 microns, no measured residual prescription at one week, and transient halos or foggy vision.
A 39-year-old patient's SMILE diary described a mixed first month, acuity around 20/20 and 20/25 by day ten, dryness and intermittent blur, followed by a favorable three-month update with improving dryness.
A ReLEx SMILE patient at iClinic.sk reported approximately -7.00 D in one eye, a follow-up within 24 hours, little major pain, and a favorable early result.
A two-week SMILE recovery report from a contact-lens wearer who described preoperative dryness and early postoperative dryness and halos, particularly around day three.
A three-month SMILE Pro report from a patient starting near -5.00 D with roughly -1.75 D astigmatism. The poster reported residual error in the right eye and acuity of 1.2 in the left and 0.9 in the right.
A long-term ReLEx SMILE report describing regression to about -0.75 D of myopia in both eyes after four years and discussion of a possible PRK enhancement.
A first-person ReLEx SMILE procedure and immediate recovery account from a patient with nearly -5.00 D in both eyes who said they selected SMILE instead of PRK.
A 28-day ReLEx SMILE report describing early foggy or watery vision, halos, and dryness after prolonged screen use. The clinic was explicitly named.
A detailed ReLEx SMILE recovery report from a patient with roughly -6.50 D in both eyes and 620-micron corneas. The poster described low tear production within the clinic's normal range before surgery, manageable halos, and useful vision during the first week.
Two months after SMILE for -3.5 D myopia, the poster reported essentially perfect visual correction but severe dry-eye symptoms requiring frequent drops. Screens and ventilated environments substantially worsened discomfort and anxiety.
Six months after SMILE, the poster reported clear vision in both eyes without glasses, discomfort or ongoing glare. Unequal clarity and glare during the first month gradually settled, leaving a strongly favorable assessment.
Six months after SMILE for -2 D myopia, the poster reported slight persistent dryness and mildly reduced clarity on dark-mode screens. They considered these downsides small and said they would choose the procedure again.
More than six months after SMILE for moderately high myopia and astigmatism, the poster described a positive outcome. The account noted sub-500-micron corneas and the absence of sufficient tissue for a future laser enhancement.
