SMILE Laser Vision Correction in Las Vegas

SMILE is the next generation of laser vision correction, a minimally invasive, flapless procedure that corrects nearsightedness and astigmatism without creating a corneal flap. Instead, the Zeiss VisuMax laser creates a precise lens-shaped disc (called a lenticule) just beneath the surface of the cornea in under 10 seconds.

Advanced laser vision correction. No flap. Less disruption. Faster healing.

The Flapless Alternative to LASIK

SMILE Laser Vision Correction in Las Vegas

Dr. Schorr performs every procedure with the most advanced laser systems in refractive surgery, including the Zeiss VisuMax laser.

At Schorr Vision, it’s more than a procedure. It is a refined experience grounded in expertise, trust, and the latest advancements in technology.

Through continuous education and global collaboration, Dr. Schorr remains at the forefront of vision correction. Her approach brings a level of precision that elevates both outcomes and experience.

Every LASIK treatment at Schorr Vision begins with WaveLight Plus, which uses advanced ray tracing technology to create a virtual 3D model of your unique eyes. This goes beyond standard diagnostics, measuring and correcting even the subtle, complex imperfections of the eye known as higher order aberrations. These are imperfections that cannot be corrected with glasses, most contact lenses, or non-customized procedures. The result is a treatment that is highly accurate, predictable, and personalized to your eyes alone.

Dr. Schorr performs every procedure with the most advanced laser systems in refractive surgery, including the Zeiss VisuMax 500, the Alcon WaveLight EX500 Excimer system, and WaveLight Plus.

Because fewer corneal nerves are disturbed during the procedure, studies show SMILE carries a lower risk of post-operative dry eye compared to LASIK, and the preserved corneal biomechanics make it particularly well-suited for active patients and athletes.

Through continuous education and global collaboration, Dr. Schorr remains at the forefront of vision correction. She was recently a sponsored attendee of Dr. Dan Reinstein's SMILE course in London, England, bringing the latest global techniques directly to her Las Vegas patients.

Every SMILE treatment at Schorr Vision begins with a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation of your eyes, ensuring your treatment plan is built around your unique anatomy, not a standard algorithm.

SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) is a minimally invasive, FDA-approved laser procedure that corrects nearsightedness and astigmatism through a single small incision, without creating a corneal flap.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Your consultation includes a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation that maps the unique architecture of your eyes.
We look beyond surface-level screenings to determine if SMILE is truly the safest and most effective path for your anatomy, your lifestyle, and your goals.

At Schorr Vision, we begin with precision.

If you've relied on glasses or contacts for years and want a gentler, flapless path to lasting clarity, SMILE may be exactly what you've been waiting for. But candidacy depends on more than just your prescription.

Not every eye is the same, and the best procedure is the one designed for yours.

Is SMILE Right for You?

You have thinner corneas

You prefer a flapless, minimally invasive approach

You have concerns about dry eye after laser vision correction

You're looking to reduce or eliminate your dependence on glasses or contacts

You have healthy corneas and no underlying eye conditions

You are over 18 and have a stable prescription

You are nearsighted (up to -10.00 diopters) with or without astigmatism (up to 5.00 diopters)

You may be a strong SMILE candidate if:

Both SMILE and LASIK are highly successful and safe. Neither is universally better. Some eye types and lifestyles are simply more suited to one over the other.
SMILE may be ideal if you have been told you are not a LASIK candidate, have thinner corneas, have concerns about dry eye, or lead an active lifestyle where flap safety is a consideration. Because fewer corneal nerves are disturbed during the procedure, studies show SMILE carries a lower risk of post-operative dry eye compared to LASIK, and the preserved corneal biomechanics make it particularly well-suited for active patients and athletes.
During your consultation, Dr. Schorr will evaluate your unique anatomy and walk you through both options with complete transparency, so you can move forward with the procedure that's truly right for you.

SMILE vs. LASIK

Using the Zeiss VisuMax laser, Dr. Schorr creates a precise lenticule just beneath the surface of the cornea in under 10 seconds. The lenticule is then removed through a tiny 2-4mm incision, about 80% smaller than a LASIK flap. Your cornea is reshaped and your vision is corrected in minutes, all without creating a flap, leaving the cornea structurally intact.

Most patients experience clear vision within 24 hours.

Am I a candidate for SMILE?

You may be a candidate if you're 18 or older, have a stable prescription, and are nearsighted (up to -10.00 diopters) with or without astigmatism (up to 5.00 diopters). You may also be a candidate if you have thinner corneas, have been told you're not a LASIK candidate, or have concerns about dry eye. We use a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation to confirm if SMILE is the safest and most effective option for your eyes.

How is SMILE different from LASIK?

SMILE corrects vision through a tiny 2-4mm incision, about 80% smaller than a LASIK flap, rather than creating a corneal flap. Because fewer corneal nerves are disturbed, SMILE carries a lower risk of post-operative dry eye and preserves more corneal strength. Both procedures are highly effective and safe. The best choice depends on your unique anatomy and lifestyle, which Dr. Schorr will walk you through during your consultation.

Does the procedure hurt?

Not at all. Numbing drops ensure a comfortable experience, and most patients feel only slight pressure for a few seconds. The treatment is fast and virtually painless.

How soon will I see clearly?

Most patients notice significant improvement within the first 24 hours. Vision continues to sharpen in the days that follow, with minimal downtime and little to no discomfort. Most patients resume normal activities, including working out and wearing makeup, within 24 hours.

Is SMILE permanent?

Yes. SMILE delivers long-lasting results. If natural changes occur in your eyes over time, enhancement options can be discussed to maintain your clarity.

Will SMILE cause dry eye?

Because SMILE preserves more of the cornea's natural structure compared to other laser procedures, patients often experience fewer dry eye symptoms after surgery. This is one of the reasons patients with dry eye concerns choose SMILE.

What does SMILE cost?

The cost of SMILE at Schorr Vision ranges from $5,000 to $7,000 for both eyes, an investment in long-term visual freedom without the daily reliance on glasses or contacts.

Because SMILE is a minimally invasive, flapless procedure, it requires advanced technology and precise surgical planning. That is what your investment reflects.

At Schorr Vision, pricing is fully transparent. There are no added fees for astigmatism or higher prescriptions, no surprise medication costs, and no hidden facility charges. Your quote is your full investment.

Every procedure is performed in our private, in-office surgical suite, creating a more controlled and comfortable experience from start to finish. Flexible monthly payment options, including interest-free financing, are available to make treatment more accessible.

Is SMILE worth it?

Most people choose SMILE because they are ready to move through life without the daily friction of glasses or contacts.
Over time, the cost of glasses, contact lenses, solutions, and prescription updates can add up to $25,000 to $40,000 or more. SMILE can reduce or eliminate many of those ongoing expenses.

If you are a good candidate, SMILE is designed to be a one-time decision with long-term impact. The real question is not just the cost. It is what clear, independent vision changes in your everyday life.

Are monthly payment options available?

Yes. We offer 24-month interest-free financing so you can invest in your vision without disrupting your budget. We will walk you through your options during your consultation so you can plan in a way that feels comfortable.

What makes SMILE at Schorr Vision different?

Every treatment is performed by Dr. Emily Schorr, a fellowship-trained refractive surgeon who studied SMILE techniques directly with Dr. Dan Reinstein in London. She performs every SMILE procedure using the Zeiss VisuMax laser, guided by a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation so your treatment plan reflects your unique eyes, not a one-size-fits-all approach. Combined with a boutique setting, unhurried care, and transparent pricing with no hidden costs, your experience is designed for clarity, comfort, and lasting results.

What if I'm not a candidate for SMILE?

If SMILE isn't the ideal fit, we'll guide you toward an alternative that is, such as LASIK, EVO ICL, or Custom Lens Replacement. Every decision is made with your long-term vision and lifestyle goals in mind.
