The Efficacy and Safety of New SMILE LASIK at Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic

19th International SCHWIND User Meeting

First in Korea!

ATOS Laser Surgery Results Announced

.

.

Hello,

This is Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic.

We are sharing academic news from abroad

regarding New SMILE LASIK.

.

.

.

.

.

The region with the highest number of myopic patients

in the world is Asia,

and among Asian countries,

Korea has the highest rate.

Therefore,

vision correction surgeries

are performed more frequently

in Korea than in many other countries.

.

.

.

.

.

In Korea,

lenticule extraction vision correction surgeries

are widely performed.

There are two types:

SMILE LASIK using the ZEISS VisuMax laser,

and New SMILE LASIK using the SCHWIND ATOS laser.

.

.

.

.

.

At Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic,

we perform New SMILE LASIK

using the ATOS laser.

Our clinic, Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic,

has the most clinical cases

of lenticule extraction surgery

using the ATOS laser

worldwide.

.

.

.

At the German Refractive Surgery Society meeting

held in Frankfurt,

our director, Dr. Hyo-Sung Yoon,

was the first in Korea

to present his expertise and surgical results

on New SMILE LASIK

using the ATOS laser.

It was a meaningful occasion where ophthalmologists

from all over the world gathered

to share and discuss

topics related to refractive surgery.

.

.

.

.

.

New SMILE LASIK

corrects ocular cyclotorsion

through an eye-tracking device and eye tracking,

making it more effective

for patients with high astigmatism

compared to traditional SMILE LASIK.

.

.

.

.

.

When creating the lenticule,

no side cut is made,

which allows for

greater corneal tissue preservation.

.

.

.

.

.

Furthermore, at the conference,

the safety and efficacy of New SMILE LASIK

were presented, showing that

over 98% of patients

who underwent New SMILE LASIK

at Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic

achieved their target corrected vision.

.

.

.

.

.

Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic

is the first ophthalmology clinic (at the private clinic level)

in Korea to introduce

the ATOS laser,

and we strive to help everyone

see safely and healthily

through New SMILE LASIK.
