How to prepare for SMILE Pro
Preparing for SMILE Pro usually means pausing contact-lens wear before your assessment (so your cornea returns to its natural shape), attending your eligibility check, and arranging for someone to bring you home afterwards. On the day, avoid eye make-up and follow your surgeon's specific pre-operative instructions. Your exact preparation is confirmed at your consultation.

Before your assessment
- Pause contact lenses as advised — soft lenses for a number of days, rigid (RGP) lenses for longer — so your corneal measurements are accurate.
- Bring your current glasses/prescription details and a list of any medications or eye conditions.
- Attend the free eligibility check so your cornea, prescription and tear film can be assessed.
On the day of surgery
- Avoid eye make-up, perfume and lotions around the eyes.
- Arrange for someone to accompany you home — you should not drive immediately after.
- Wear comfortable clothing and follow any eating, medication or drop instructions your surgeon gives.
- Plan to rest afterwards; keep the day light and low-stress.

Preparation — frequently asked questions
How long before SMILE Pro should I stop contact lenses?+
Soft lenses are usually paused for a number of days and rigid (RGP) lenses for longer, so your corneal shape and measurements are accurate. Your surgeon will give you exact timing for your lens type at the assessment.
Can I drive myself home after SMILE Pro?+
No — arrange for someone to bring you home, as your vision needs time to settle and you should not drive immediately afterwards. Your surgeon confirms when driving is safe again.
What should I avoid on the day of SMILE Pro?+
Avoid eye make-up, perfume and lotions near the eyes, and follow your surgeon's specific pre-operative instructions. Keep the day restful.
