Considering Astigmatism Correction? Focus on Seocho Dong An Eye Clinic's Smart Nova LASIK

Hello, this is Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic 😊💙

When people think of vision correction surgery,

many still think of LASIK, LASEK, or SMILE LASIK first,

but recently, an increasing number of people value how clear and stable their vision can be maintained for a long time, rather than simply ‘good vision’.

Especially if you have astigmatism, or if you've experienced slightly blurry focus even after previous vision correction,

you're likely to be more cautious in choosing a surgery.

Among these individuals, a method that has recently garnered attention is

Smart Nova LASIK.

It's best understood as a vision correction surgery that builds upon the advantages of existing SMILE LASIK, enhancing the accuracy of astigmatism correction.

Seocho Dong An Eye Clinic's Smart Nova LASIK: What makes it different?

Smart Nova LASIK is a vision correction surgery performed through a micro-incision of approximately 2mm.

It's similar to SMILE LASIK in that it removes the corneal lenticule from within the cornea without creating a corneal flap,

but its distinguishing feature is the addition of a system to enhance the precision of the entire surgical process.

This surgery incorporates the CenTrax system,

which detects and corrects even subtle eye movements or changes in centration that may occur during surgery in real-time.

The human eye can move or rotate more easily than expected due to tension or changes in posture,

and if these factors are not accounted for, they can affect correction accuracy.

Smart Nova LASIK aims for more stable correction by considering even these variables.

Why is it even more important if you have astigmatism?

Astigmatism is a refractive error where the curvature of the cornea is irregular,

causing light to scatter rather than focusing on a single point on the retina.

Therefore, in astigmatism correction, accurately aligning the astigmatism axis is a crucial factor, more so than just the simple power.

In fact, some individuals with astigmatism complain of

unclear letters,

light glare,

or a slightly misaligned focus

even when their post-operative vision numbers show no problems.

These phenomena often occur when the astigmatism axis is subtly off.

Because even a few degrees of difference in the astigmatism axis can significantly alter the perceived quality of vision,

precision during the correction process is particularly important.

Smart Nova LASIK automatically links the astigmatism axis, visual axis, and corneal information measured through precise pre-operative examinations to the surgical equipment.

Furthermore, because real-time correction for eye rotation that may occur during surgery is applied before the laser is irradiated,

the direction and position of astigmatism can be reflected more accurately.

Since correction is performed considering not only simple eye movement but also the direction of rotation,

it can help reduce the subtle visual discomfort experienced by individuals with astigmatism.

Detailed prescription design in 0.05 increments

Traditional vision correction surgeries often set prescriptions in 0.25D increments.

Smart Nova LASIK allows for a more detailed prescription design, down to 0.05D increments,

which can more precisely reflect an individual's refractive state.

While it may seem like a small difference in numbers,

it can lead to a noticeable difference in clarity and sharpness in actual perceived vision.

This can be an important factor, especially for professions that require sensitive vision,

or for individuals who are sensitive to subtle differences in prescription between their two eyes.

Choosing what's right for your eyes is most important.

Of course, Smart Nova LASIK is not suitable for everyone.

This is because various factors such as corneal thickness, eye structure, direction and degree of astigmatism, and lifestyle patterns must be comprehensively considered.

If you are considering vision correction surgery, rather than choosing based on a specific surgical name,

it is paramount to accurately assess your current eye condition through precise examinations,

and then, after thorough consultation with medical staff,

determine the method that is right for you.

Smart Nova LASIK is a vision correction surgery that can be an option for those with astigmatism

or those who prioritize the precision of correction.

Before surgery, we recommend receiving detailed guidance on everything from examination to the recovery process,

and post-operative care.
