SMILE
For better vision.
You’ve probably heard of LASIK, but have you heard of SMILE? SMILE stands for small incision lenticule extraction. It is a technique where a femtosecond laser is used to remove a small round lenticule of corneal tissue from the middle layers of the cornea through a small incision, leaving you with your ideal eye prescription.
“Everything in this spectacular valley is more crisp than I could have ever imagined. I do not have to worry about cleaning off dirty glasses or taking out my contacts.”
Smile Eye Surgery Utah
How it works.
Before surgery begins, Dr. Waite will place numbing drops in your eye and a gentle eyelid holder. He will then use a computer-guided laser to place a small incision in the peripheral cornea. The laser creates a tiny segment (lenticule) in the mid-cornea. Dr. Waite removes this lenticule through a small incision created by the laser. This entire process reshapes your cornea, giving you perfect vision.
Is SMILE better than LASIK?
No. SMILE is a better fit for some eye types and lifestyles. Both procedures are extremely effective and safe at correcting your vision. While SMILE is another option in laser eye surgery, accuracy of correction is similar to LASIK. During your consultation we will help you determine if SMILE will help you achieve the visual results you desire.
“In addition to predictable results and excellent visual outcomes, the SMILE procedure allows for fast visual recovery.”

It starts with a SMILE consult.
The cost of a consultation is $150, because we do more than a quick “SMILE screening.” Your initial consultation includes a full diagnostic workup using seven different tests and the latest technology. You’ll then sit down personally with Dr. Waite, your surgeon, and discuss the PERFECT vision correction procedure tailored specifically for you along with other valuable information regarding the health of your eyes. Your $150 investment then goes towards your vision correction procedure.
How much does SMILE Eye Surgery cost?
Your SMILE investment at Waite Vision is $2850 per eye, or $5700 for both eyes. We are the only Utah practice to publish its real SMILE price. After SMILE you’ll “own” your vision instead of “renting” it from the contacts or eye glass industry. When you invest in Vision Correction you are investing in yourself.
How much are glasses and contacts costing you?
The average person spends $25,000+ on glasses, contact lenses, solution, eye exams, etc. It’s like renting your vision from the glasses and contacts lenses industry. Worst of all, these will NEVER correct your vision. Use our affordability calculator and see how much you can save by getting SMILE.
