The information was released at the 2025 Scientific and Technical Conference themed "Modern Technology, JCI Quality," co-organized by Saigon Medical Group and Cao Thang Eye Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City on 20/9. Representatives from Cao Thang Eye Hospital stated that Smile Pro Elite is the most advanced version of the Smile Pro laser refractive surgery technology, recognized and licensed by Carl Zeiss (Germany).

Smile Pro Elite inherits the advantages of Smile Pro while incorporating several upgrades. First, its comprehensive eye screening capability uses 128 cross-sectional images, analyzing every 5 mm of each section, along with 15 specialized examination steps. This allows doctors to accurately assess each eye parameter and develop a personalized treatment plan.
Second, it enhances long-term corneal protection. Smile Pro Elite applies cross-linking technology between collagen fibers to make the cornea stronger and biomechanically stable after tissue removal during refractive surgery, preventing corneal ectasia and preserving vision for many years.
Third, its dry eye prevention technology utilizes non-invasive thermal therapy combined with Meibomian gland massage to improve tear film quality and optimally prepare the corneal surface before surgery. This technology simultaneously cares for the tear glands, promoting rapid corneal healing and eliminating dry eye after surgery.
Nguyen Quoc Anh, CEO of Cao Thang Eye Hospital, emphasized, "The launch of this service is an important milestone for Cao Thang Eye Hospital and demonstrates our commitment to bringing the world's most advanced ophthalmic technologies to our patients, delivering superior and safe vision correction results."

Smile Pro Elite is licensed by Carl Zeiss for implementation in Zeiss Smile Pro centers that have achieved JCI accreditation twice consecutively. According to experts, this vision correction service combines advanced technology, standardized medical expertise, and a premium customer experience.
By launching the Smile Pro Elite vision correction service, Cao Thang Eye Hospital provides patients with another high-quality option. Continuously updating technology and maintaining international JCI standards affirms the hospital's pioneering role in ophthalmology, partnering with the community to protect and enhance vision health. Since 2009, the hospital has been accredited 6 consecutive times by JCI (Joint Commission International) - the globally prestigious standard for healthcare quality and safety.
With an international-standard Zeiss Smile Pro Center, Cao Thang Eye Hospital's entire system is equipped with synchronized Zeiss technology, from examination and diagnosis to eye assessment and surgery. A key highlight is the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in data analysis and treatment planning, providing accuracy up to 0.001 diopters for each patient.
