SMILE Pro, halos & night vision
Some patients notice glare, halos or starbursts around lights at night in the early healing period after SMILE Pro. For most, this settles as the eye heals. Factors such as your pupil size and accurate treatment centration are relevant, and the ZEISS VISUMAX 800 includes centration-alignment features intended to support quality of vision. Persistent night-vision symptoms are uncommon and should be reviewed.

Why halos can happen early on
In the first days to weeks after any laser vision correction, the healing cornea can scatter light slightly, which some people notice as halos or glare around headlights and streetlights at night. For the large majority this improves steadily as healing progresses. Reporting it at your follow-up visits lets your surgeon track that it is settling as expected.
Pupil size, centration and planning
People with larger pupils in dim light are sometimes more aware of night-time visual effects, which is one reason your surgeon assesses this beforehand. Accurate centring of the treatment matters too — the ZEISS VISUMAX 800 includes centration-alignment features (such as CentraLign) designed to support this. These tools aid planning; they are not a promise of a particular night-vision result.
