Zeiss SMILE Pro is the latest evolution in laser vision correction—offering unmatched precision with the most advanced technology available today. This minimally invasive procedure corrects nearsightedness and astigmatism using the Zeiss VISUMAX 800 femtosecond laser, completing the laser portion in just 9 seconds.
One of the biggest advantages of ZEISS SMILE Pro is that even patients who aren’t ideal LASIK candidates may still qualify, giving more people access to clear, comfortable vision without glasses or contacts.

The EVO ICL is an implantable collamer lens that can correct nearsightedness and astigmatism. Unlike other vision correction procedures, it does not remove or reshape any part of the cornea to correct your refractive errors.
Instead, the EVO ICL is carefully placed between the iris and the natural lens of your eye during a quick, virtually painless procedure. Then, you can enjoy crystal-clear vision without the need for glasses and contacts almost immediately.

EXCELLENT Based on 449 reviews Posted on Norma GTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Be aware that the only complimentary consultation is for Laser Vison (Lasik) surgery so I was told in the office. The RLE consult is about $600 for all the tests. Unfortunately their fees are not transparent on their website and they hit you with it when you arrive. They also will not bill your insurance. Needless to say I walked out. There are other RLE surgeons that provide free consults to find out if you are a candidate.Posted on Dennis GillaspieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Every one is great from the girls at the reception desk to the doctors. I CAN SEEPosted on john sheehanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If eyes need attention Dell is the best. PS Dr Gomez is coolPosted on Patti SkinnerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I drive 1 hour 20 minutes because I have complete confidence and faith in Dr. Dell’s complete and thorough treatment plan from preop treatment to perfect vision!Posted on Diane CuttsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Drs. Varu and Nguyen are EXCELLENT! They care about their patients. They are personable and take time to answer questions. I’ve been a patient of Dr. Varu for four years and value her professionalism and knowledge. We discussed that the best option with my eye issues and cataracts is Light Adjustable Lenses. She performed the surgery. Dr. Nguyen adjusted the lenses after surgery and is AMAZING! She took extra time to make sure that I got optimal vision - both distance and close. I’m very happy that I no longer need glasses again (I had PRK over 20 years ago). Yes, it’s a long process, but worth it! I highly recommend the practice.Posted on Nathaniel ElderTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It has been about 7 months since my SMILE surgery at Dell Laser Consultants that eliminated my myopia (nearsightedness). If I recall correctly, the doctor that performed the SMILE procedure on my eyes was Dr. Dell himself. 7 months out from that surgery, and I’m still glasses-free! He corrected my vision to 20/15! People have this extreme worry that they might become part of the extremely unlucky statistic of people who have serious complications with LASIK (and SMILE, by proxy) that lead to permanent blindness or something equally severe. I had that same fear, but if you were at risk for complications, the doctors on staff would tell you ahead of time during your consultations and not move you forward, if that is any consolation. The actual procedure lasted only about 1 minute per eye—with you lying flat on a special medical table as a device was pressed against your face and eyes—and was completely painless. If you’re claustrophobic or prone to panic attacks, they give you some antidepressants just beforehand to calm your nerves down. Post-operation recovery consists of a lot of antibiotic eyedrops alongside generic OTC eyedrops to keep the eyes moisturized. You’ll need to take some time off for this and be an indoor shut-in for a while, so get things prepared ahead of time and learn to become best friends with your bed pillows. The only permanent con from this procedure is you won’t be able to go outside without sunglasses ever again during daytime. Daylight to your new eyes will be far more luminous, bringing significant discomfort without protection. And glare from bright car headlights will be magnified slightly, so driving at night could be dangerous, depending. Still, despite that con, this surgery was, unquestionably, the best medical decision I made in my life for quality of life. I thank Dr. Dell and his team for it all. I highly recommend them for anyone considering SMILE surgery.
