Archer An San Wins Gold Medal After All-Laser LASEK Surgery!

She had been bothered by glasses and contact lenses during archery practice for several years.

After much deliberation, she decided to undergo All-Laser LASEK at our hospital before the Olympics to help her win a gold medal.

The difference between general LASEK and All-Laser LASEK is that

only the corneal epithelium in the laser-irradiated area is removed,

and the entire surgical process is performed solely with a laser.

This means less post-operative pain compared to general LASEK

and faster recovery.

For Ms. An San's surgery,

the examination alone took over 30 minutes.

Fortunately, she met the criteria for safe surgery,

so we proceeded with Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic’s Smart Co-Wave LASEK.

(At Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic, we only perform surgery safely after thorough examinations,

ensuring that all eye conditions and factors, such as corneal thickness, corneal shape, and retinal status,

are optimal.)

Smart Co-Wave LASEK, one of our hospital's All-Laser LASEK procedures,

is designed to account for the fact that just as people's fingerprints differ,

corneal shapes also vary.

Since the surgery is tailored to the patient's corneal shape,

personalized surgery is possible, leading to excellent results.

Furthermore, it not only corrects myopia and astigmatism like general LASEK

but also corrects higher-order aberrations,

which improves the quality of vision.

This makes it a popular vision correction surgery for those who, like athlete An San,

rely heavily on their vision.

Ms. An San's surgery for both eyes

took about 10 minutes.

When asked about her experience, she said there was no pain at all during the surgery,

and she was just looking at a light.

She was surprised that the surgery finished faster than she expected.

Since LASEK requires a process of corneal epithelial regeneration,

vision doesn't immediately improve after surgery,

but gradually becomes complete over time. ^^

Once the cornea has fully recovered,

perfect vision, like athlete An San's, can be achieved~!

We sincerely congratulate athlete An San on winning the gold medal this time,

and it seems we were able to confirm the stable surgical results of our Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic's Smart Co-Wave LASEK once again. ^^
