European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons I Clinical Results Report on ATOS Smart Surgery -

The European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS) is a global ophthalmology society that boasts high authority, with many leading experts in the world of ophthalmology participating.

It encompasses over 12,000 members from 130 countries worldwide, making it a highly respected global ophthalmic society.

Founded in 1991, this society plays a role in promoting and supporting research and dissemination in the fields of cutting-edge science and refractive surgery.

Ophthalmologists from around the world actively participate as speakers and attendees.

This time, Dr. Yoon Hyo-sung, representing Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic, presented a paper on the clinical results of SmartSight surgery [Smart Surgery] using the ATOS laser, which he has continuously researched, at the ESCRS (European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons) held in Vienna, the capital of Austria.

The most notable aspect of this ESCRS paper was astigmatism correction.

At Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic, astigmatism correction is considered the biggest advantage of SmartSight surgery.

After observing the progress for 3 months, the results continue to be astonishing, with 98% of residual myopia and 99% of astigmatism within ±0.5D.

After 3 months, the changes in higher-order aberrations were also very good, with no significant difference before and after surgery, indicating high quality of surgery.

In this academic session, we also looked at the results from other countries using the same equipment.

Residual astigmatism within ±0.5D was 89%, which is a relatively lower figure.

Through this paper, Dr. Yoon Hyo-sung observed the results from other countries using the same machine and stated,

‘Even with the same equipment, there is a difference in results depending on the surgeon's skill.’

He conveyed that the achievement of a 99% target vision index was not easily obtained but was the result of continuous research and development by Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic.

Looking at the equipment from other companies recently introduced in Korea,

Like ATOS, it has functions for cyclotorsion compensation and center marking, but

Through these results, it seems that further observation of the changes in astigmatism correction and higher-order aberrations after 3 months will be necessary.

Furthermore, at a meeting held by SCHWIND, the manufacturer of ATOS, attended by only a very small number of ophthalmologists,

Dr. Yoon Hyo-sung of Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic was the only Korean representative!

At this meeting, they discussed improvements and the future direction of ATOS.

Through this ESCRS conference, we were once again able to observe Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic's unique excellent results specialized in astigmatism correction and high level of clinical experience.

Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic has the most clinical experience in Korea with ATOS surgery.

We will continue to strive to be Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic that does its best to help patients achieve clear vision and good results.
