How Artificial Intelligence is Transforming LASIK and SMILE Pro for Faster, Personalized Results in 2026

A new year brings new possibilities for your vision.

As we step into 2026, artificial intelligence is revolutionizing vision correction in ways that were unimaginable just a few years ago. The VisuMax 800 laser system represents the most sophisticated technology currently available in the United States, combining AI-powered precision with lightning-fast treatment times. Lake Lazer Eye Center is proud to be one of the first centers in the country to offer this leading-edge platform for both LASIK and SMILE Pro procedures.

This breakthrough technology is transforming how we approach vision correction, making it faster, safer and more personalized than ever before.

AI-Powered Precision You Can See and Feel

Through intelligent assistant systems like CentraLign® and OcuLign®, the VisuMax platform uses artificial intelligence to deliver precision that was previously impossible. CentraLign® is a computer-controlled function that automatically centers treatment using your pupil center and vertex position. OcuLign® is an integrated tracking system that automatically recalculates treatment patterns in real-time and accounts for cyclorotation (the natural rotation of your eye).

That’s a lot of big words. But what does this mean for you? Your surgeon gets enhanced oversight and control during the procedure, while the AI handles micro-adjustments that ensure optimal positioning. The system includes two monitors and digital recording with intraoperative playback, putting more data, visual tracking and feedback at your surgeon’s fingertips. All this adds up to maximum control for Dr. Khambati and maximum customization for you.

Treatment in Under 10 Seconds

Speed matters when it comes to comfort.

The VisuMax 800’s 2 MHz laser pulse repetition rate can deliver treatment in less than 10 seconds – compared to 30 seconds with previous generations. That’s a 70% reduction in treatment time. For LASIK patients, the system creates corneal flaps in about 5 seconds. For SMILE Pro patients, lenticule creation happens in under 10 seconds.

Faster treatment means less time under the laser, reduced patient stress and a more comfortable experience overall. The innovative Low Energy and Curved Contact Interface design also minimizes intraocular pressure during the procedure, making it gentler on your eyes.

Personalized to Your Unique Eyes

No two eyes are exactly alike, and your treatment shouldn’t be either.

At Lake Lazer Eye Center, you benefit from the VisuMax 800’s AI capabilities paired with Dr. Khambati’s 20-plus years of experience and one of the highest success rates in Michigan. Dr. Khambati offers customized treatment plans tailored to your individual needs, lifestyle and visual goals. Every detail—from the shape and thickness of corneal flaps to the precise removal of tissue—is optimized for your unique eye anatomy.

This personalization extends to procedure selection as well. Some patients are better suited for SoftTouch LASIK, while others may benefit from the minimally invasive SMILE Pro approach. During your consultation, we’ll determine which option gives you the best path to crisp, clear vision.

Both LASIK and SMILE Pro: More Options for More People

The VisuMax 800 platform expands what’s possible.

Whether you’re a candidate for SoftTouch LASIK or prefer the flapless SMILE Pro procedure, this AI-powered technology delivers exceptional results for both. LASIK reshapes the cornea through a two-step process, while SMILE Pro uses Small Incision Lenticule Extraction in a single step—no corneal flap required. Both procedures correct myopia and astigmatism with remarkable precision, brief recovery periods and long-lasting results.

As technology advances, more people qualify for vision correction than ever before. A thorough consultation with Dr. Khambati will help determine which procedure is right for you.
