Over the years, laser eye treatment has evolved. It first started with PRK which is where the laser was delivered directly onto the surface of the cornea. 
LASEK is very similar, almost no difference between the two.
 LASIK is where we lift the flap off the surface of the cornea up, exposing the bed underneath and on to that bed is the laser treatment delivered. The flap is replaced back into position. It’s a very accurate, very precise, very effective way of delivering laser eye surgery. 
Smile is where the whole procedure is carried out inside the middle of the cornea without any lifting of flaps or removing any tissue other than the lenticule itself. This is basically robotic surgery; the accuracy is extremely high and the safety is very great.
