Maxivision Super Speciality Eye Hospitals announced the launch of the revolutionary SMILE 500 technology, aiming to set a new standard in refractive surgery in Vijayawada.
As per the press release, the SMILE 500 procedure represents a cutting-edge advancement in refractive surgery, offering an innovative solution for vision correction. It is a minimally invasive laser procedure specifically designed to treat refractive errors such as myopia (near-sightedness), with faster recovery times and reduced discomfort compared to traditional LASIK surgery. The SMILE procedure requires only a small incision, which minimises the risk of complications like dry eyes and preserves corneal strength. Within just a few days, patients typically experience clearer vision, making this an ideal option for those who lead active lifestyles and seek freedom from glasses or contact lenses.
Dr Kasu Prasad Reddy commented on the significance of this technological advancement, stating, “The introduction of SMILE 500 marks a remarkable step forward in refractive surgery, offering unparalleled precision, quicker recovery, and improved patient comfort. Maxivision is dedicated to bringing cutting-edge technology to our patients, ensuring the best possible vision correction outcomes with minimal invasiveness.”
V.S Sudheer, Group CEO of Maxivision Eye Hospitals, added, “Maxivision is renowned as one of the most trusted eye care providers in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, with over 25 hospitals in these regions, forming part of our larger network of 50 hospitals. Our Vijayawada center is the preferred destination for eye care, serving a wide population from Vijayawada, Guntur, and Narsaraopet districts. By investing Rs 8 Crores in the SMILE technology, we are making advanced refractive surgery more affordable, providing access to this state-of-the-art treatment right here in Vijayawada, without patients needing to travel to Hyderabad.”
Dr Sharat Babu and Dr AAV Ramalinga Reddy, each with over three decades of clinical experience, lead the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana divisions of Maxivision. Both doctors have mentored numerous surgeons and bring their extensive expertise to ensure safe and successful surgeries. Dr Ramakrishna, the Chief Surgeon at the Vijayawada hospital, has performed over 100,000 eye surgeries and received specialised SMILE training from company experts in Germany and under the mentorship of Dr Kasu Prasad Reddy.
