The laser behind SMILE Pro
SMILE Pro is a flap-free procedure — and the ZEISS VISUMAX 800 is the platform that makes it possible. Rather than lifting a corneal flap, the VISUMAX 800 works entirely within the cornea to shape a lenticule. The surgeon removes that lenticule through a small incision, reshaping the cornea to correct how light focuses on your retina. Because everything happens on one platform, there is no separate excimer ablation step.
The VISUMAX 800 is a newer-generation ZEISS femtosecond laser. It is designed for a faster lenticule-creation step and to support alignment features that assist treatment centration and account for the eye's natural rotation during astigmatism correction. What matters for you is that these are tools your surgeon uses to plan and deliver a precise, individualised treatment — not guarantees of a particular result.
Key features, explained simply
Fast lenticule-creation step
The femtosecond laser step that shapes the lenticule takes only seconds per eye — one part of your overall time in the laser suite, not the whole appointment.
CentraLign — assisted centration
A ZEISS alignment feature designed to help centre the treatment accurately on the eye.
OcuLign — cyclotorsion alignment
Designed to account for the eye's natural rotation, which is relevant to correcting astigmatism precisely.
Single-platform workflow
The whole SMILE Pro treatment is performed on the VISUMAX 800, without a separate excimer ablation step.
Feature names such as CentraLign and OcuLign refer to ZEISS platform capabilities. Their relevance to your treatment is determined by your surgeon after an examination.

ZEISS VISUMAX 800 — frequently asked questions
What is the ZEISS VISUMAX 800?+
The ZEISS VISUMAX 800 is a femtosecond laser platform from ZEISS used to perform SMILE Pro — a flap-free, small-incision lenticule extraction procedure. It shapes a lenticule inside the cornea, which the surgeon then removes through a small incision to correct short-sightedness and astigmatism in suitable patients.
How is the VISUMAX 800 different from earlier lasers?+
The VISUMAX 800 is a newer-generation ZEISS femtosecond platform designed for a faster lenticule-creation step and to support features that assist treatment centration and account for eye rotation during astigmatism correction. Your surgeon can explain how these apply to your eyes.
Does the VISUMAX 800 do the whole procedure in seconds?+
No. The femtosecond laser step that creates the lenticule takes only seconds per eye, but that is just one part of your time in the laser suite, which also includes positioning, alignment and lenticule removal. The brief laser time should not be confused with the length of the whole appointment.
