I got the SMILE done in about 15 minutes. I was honestly very nervous as there are known risks, but Dr. Goels technician was able to calm my nerves after I completed each eye exam to determine if I was a candidate for SMILE.Dr. Goel was patient and supportive during the process. I was only able to stay still & tried to be relax for the procedure because he talked through it and played music of my choice. I was also surprised and thankful that Dr. Goel reached out later in the night to make sure I was recovering alright and had no questions.I think I am recovering well so far. My vision is as though I have contacts on. I was able to drive, work out, and go shopping today post-op 1 day with no issues besides noting that lights do make my eyes a bit sensitive right now. Hoping to recover even better as I make sure to stick to the routine provided by Goel Vision.
