SMILE Pro for astigmatism
Yes — SMILE Pro can correct myopic astigmatism (short-sightedness combined with astigmatism) in suitable patients. The ZEISS VISUMAX 800 includes alignment features designed to account for the eye's natural rotation, which is important for treating astigmatism accurately. It does not currently treat long-sighted (hyperopic) astigmatism. An assessment confirms your specific correction.

Why alignment matters for astigmatism
Correcting astigmatism precisely depends on treating along the correct axis — and the eye rotates slightly when you lie down compared with sitting up. The ZEISS VISUMAX 800 includes cyclotorsion-alignment features (such as OcuLign) intended to account for this rotation, which supports accurate astigmatism correction. These are tools your surgeon uses during planning, not guarantees of a specific result.
What SMILE Pro can and can't treat
- Can treat: myopia (short-sightedness) with myopic astigmatism, within a defined range.
- Not currently treated by SMILE Pro: long-sightedness (hyperopia) and hyperopic astigmatism.
- Very high astigmatism or unusual corneal shapes are assessed individually — sometimes another procedure suits better.

For astigmatism — frequently asked questions
How much astigmatism can SMILE Pro correct?+
SMILE Pro treats myopic astigmatism up to a defined range, confirmed at assessment. Higher or unusual astigmatism is evaluated individually, and occasionally a different procedure is recommended.
Is SMILE Pro accurate for astigmatism?+
The ZEISS VISUMAX 800 includes alignment features designed to account for the eye's rotation, which supports accurate astigmatism correction. Individual outcomes still vary, so your surgeon will set realistic expectations.
Can SMILE Pro treat astigmatism without myopia?+
SMILE Pro is designed for myopic astigmatism — astigmatism together with short-sightedness. Astigmatism with long-sightedness is not currently treated with SMILE Pro; your surgeon can advise on alternatives.
