5th Generation ATOS Vision Correction: What is New Smile LASIK?

Experience 5th Generation ATOS Vision Correction, New Smile LASIK, at Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic!

Hello, this is Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic~!

If you've done a little research on vision correction surgery,

you probably know what 5th generation vision correction surgery is.

Vision correction surgery using ATOS began in 2022,

performing Smart LASIK.

At our clinic, we perform Smile surgery through ‘New Smile LASIK’.

Today, we'd like to talk about our New Smile procedure,

and also address frequently asked questions about corneal strengthening, autologous serum, and eye care after vision correction.

With the issuance of an ATOS genuine certification card,

you can receive New Smile LASIK at Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic

with even greater peace of mind!!

Why do so many people choose Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic's New Smile LASIK?

Because it combines 5th generation ATOS [Smart LASIK] with precise astigmatism correction through corneal incision,

and checks actual patient satisfaction through meticulous correction!!

✅Fast recovery and less pain

✅Helps minimize dry eyes due to smaller incision

✅Minimizes corneal damage with minimal incision

✅Strong against external impact as there is no corneal flap

✅Minimizes errors during surgery

✅Curved patient interface, firm eye fixation

✅Fast surgery time within 10 minutes

Is time and energy important?

New Smile LASIK boasts a laser irradiation speed of 4MHz, up to 8 times faster than other laser devices,

and low energy of 75nJ, resulting in minimal thermal damage.

Regular laser irradiation allows for the creation of a smooth lenticule.

It is also one of the vision correction surgeries with high actual satisfaction after surgery.

Is vision correction surgery for high astigmatism unsatisfactory?

That's not true. New Smile LASIK allows for more precise astigmatism correction by compensating for the eye's rotational axis,

and it is one of the vision correction surgeries where many patients with high astigmatism choose it and confirm satisfactory vision correction.

Why do so many people choose Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic's 5th generation vision correction, New Smile LASIK?

✅Because time feels increasingly scarce, and they want fast recovery after vision correction.

✅Because more people are looking for vision correction surgery that can be performed while maximizing corneal preservation.

✅Because interest in dry eyes has increased, and they want vision correction with less concern about dry eyes.

✅Because even those who had difficulty with vision correction surgery due to high astigmatism can now receive precise correction.

✅Because customized correction is possible for both high myopia and high astigmatism.

✅Because Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic is one of the Gangnam eye clinics with continuous research and presentations.

✅Because we provide honest and essential treatment and guidance with patient-centered care!

Avellino DNA Test: A DNA test for safe surgery

Corneal Cross-linking: To strengthen the cornea

Autologous Serum PRP: To speed up recovery after surgery

Eye Care: Improves meibomian gland function and reduces inflammation

What is the Avellino DNA Test?

Surgeries like LASIK, LASEK, and Smile surgery inevitably cause corneal damage.

Therefore, if a patient with Avellino corneal dystrophy undergoes such vision correction surgery, it can be dangerous during the surgery or recovery process.

For this reason, this test is performed as a pre-operative examination.

What is Corneal Cross-linking?

It is performed for safety after vision correction surgery if the cornea is asymmetrical, thin, or weak.

Corneal cross-linking is a procedure that helps improve regression after surgery,

enhance corneal durability, and prevent corneal ectasia that may occur after surgery.

It is recommended to choose this procedure along with vision correction surgery depending on your corneal condition.

What is Autologous Serum PRP Eyedrops?

Autologous serum eyedrops are now frequently chosen along with vision correction surgery!

Many people choose it for dry eye management, faster vision recovery, and pain relief after surgery.

PRP is a method that separates platelets and plasma from red blood cells in the blood

to extract and use healing growth factors.

Since it uses the patient's own blood, there is less concern about side effects.

What about Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic's Eye Care?!

Our clinic's eye care focuses on

improving meibomian gland function and reducing inflammation,

and we provide 1:1 customized management to help fundamentally improve the concerns of those suffering from dry eyes.

Dry eyes are experienced by many people regardless of age,

and it's easy to neglect and let it become chronic.

Starting management even a little earlier

can help improve the quality of vision,

so please be sure to check it out.
