Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

SMILE Laser Eye Surgery For -9
This is a review for not Lasik but SMILE laser eye surgery which is the new version of Lasik but does not have a category here yet. I had very bad eyes, -8 and -9 so very close to the limit.
My experience has been mixed. After the surgery I couldn't see clearly for many months. I can see without glasses but my reading and my night vision are very poor. It was better in contacts to be honest. If I had known I might have just stayed with contact. My vision has been very soft and not crystal clear. Which means I can see but not sharply and in clear focus. I am hoping for a revision which will be done with lasik but my eyes keep changing making them unstable to predict outcomes and it has been over a year later.
Not sure what to say here. If you have really bad eyes, I am not sure if SMILE works the way you would want it to. It is a very mixed bag for me.
