Experience low-pain, low-bleeding, sutureless cataract surgery!

Hello.
We are Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic, dedicated to bringing back the happy smile of enjoying sight!
Anyone facing surgery may worry about pain and bleeding,
but with our skilled medical team's low-pain, low-bleeding, sutureless cataract surgery, you can undergo the procedure with peace of mind and comfort.
Shall we explore the unique advantages of Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic, where we find the optimal vision tailored to your lifestyle?
1. Low-Pain Cataract Surgery

Anesthesia is performed using only eye drops, without anesthetic injections.
This reduces the fear and pain associated with anesthetic injections, and since it's done with only anesthetic eye drops, there's less systemic burden.
By using the Centurion cataract surgery system, intraocular pressure can be maintained consistently during surgery, further reducing pain.
2. Low-Bleeding Cataract Surgery

Since the surgery is performed with clear corneal incision and phacoemulsification, there is minimal bleeding during the procedure. Less bleeding means faster vision recovery and a quicker return to daily life.
3. Sutureless Cataract Surgery

Since the intraocular lens is inserted through a micro-incision (2.2mm), no separate sutures are required.
Because no stitches are left in the eye, there are fewer changes in astigmatism values and less foreign body sensation after surgery.
Generally, cataracts do not recur, and intraocular lenses have a semi-permanent lifespan,
making cataract surgery a one-time procedure for life.
Through precise pre-operative examinations and 1:1 customized surgery,
you can also correct astigmatism (femtosecond laser + astigmatism-correcting intraocular lens) and presbyopia (multifocal intraocular lens) simultaneously!
With our low-pain, low-bleeding, sutureless cataract surgery system, you can undergo the procedure comfortably and be discharged on the same day,
and daily life is possible from the day after surgery.
The femtosecond laser device (LENSAR) is based on 3D biometric analysis data,
enabling more precise and safer cataract surgery.
At Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic, regain your bright vision through safe surgery and management by our skilled medical team!

Frequently Asked Questions
How much pain is involved in cataract surgery?
Pain during cataract surgery is minimized. Anesthesia is performed using only eye drops instead of injections, and the Centurion device is used to maintain consistent intraocular pressure during surgery, further reducing pain.
Is there a lot of bleeding after cataract surgery?
Bleeding after cataract surgery is minimal. The surgery is performed with a clear corneal incision and phacoemulsification, resulting in less bleeding, which helps accelerate vision recovery and return to daily life.
Are sutures required after cataract surgery?
No, separate sutures are not required after cataract surgery. The intraocular lens is inserted through a micro-incision (2.2mm), so no stitches are left, leading to fewer changes in astigmatism and less foreign body sensation.
When can I resume daily activities after cataract surgery?
Daily activities are possible from the day after cataract surgery. You can be discharged on the same day as the surgery, and thanks to the low-pain, low-bleeding, sutureless system, you can recover comfortably.
Can cataracts recur after surgery?
No, cataracts generally do not recur. Intraocular lenses have a semi-permanent lifespan, so cataract surgery is known as a one-time procedure for life.
Can astigmatism or presbyopia be corrected simultaneously during cataract surgery?
Yes, it is possible. Through precise pre-operative examinations and 1:1 customized surgery, astigmatism (femtosecond laser + astigmatism-correcting intraocular lens) and presbyopia (multifocal intraocular lens) can be corrected simultaneously.
