Gangnam Station Today LASEK with Fast Recovery: What are SmartSurface & SPT Technologies?

Hello, this is Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic 😊💙

In an era where work-life balance has become increasingly important,

there is growing interest in medical technologies

that allow for a quick return to daily life after surgery. ​

The eyes, in particular, are a vital part of the body used daily,

so for those considering vision correction surgery,

a short recovery period and high safety are often top priorities.

Recently, ‘Today LASEK’ has garnered attention among those

seeking both fast recovery and excellent visual outcomes.

Through the ‘SmartSurface’ technology and SPT (Smart Pulse Technology) of the Amaris Red 1050RS,

used in Today LASEK, more positive effects can be expected

in terms of recovery speed and quality of vision.

Today, we will take a closer look at these technologies,

which can be considered the know-how behind the fast recovery of Gangnam Station Today LASEK.

Gangnam Station Today LASEK: What is Today LASEK?

Today LASEK is a vision correction surgery that utilizes the advanced Amaris excimer laser device

to perform all stages of the surgery using a laser method.

Using the Amaris device, epithelial removal and stromal ablation can be performed simultaneously

with a 0.54mm ultra-precision laser beam.

This shortens the surgery time and minimizes unnecessary damage during the procedure.

Furthermore, the wound area of the surgical site is reduced by approximately 40%,

making the possibility of side effects smaller.

Since no corneal flap is created, it offers high stability against external impact,

and its 7-dimensional eye tracking system can detect and correct even minute eye movements during surgery,

which is also a significant advantage.

Through these advantages, Today LASEK is considered a vision correction surgery

applicable to patients with various refractive errors, including high myopia, astigmatism, and hyperopia.

Gangnam Station Today LASEK: What is SmartSurface Technology?

‘SmartSurface’ is a technology that precisely irradiates the upper layer of the cornea with a laser

to minimize stress on the cornea and preserve its biological characteristics and stability.

In traditional LASEK, the corneal epithelium was removed using alcohol and a brush,

followed by laser irradiation. However, SmartSurface is characterized by

not making any physical contact during this epithelial removal process.

In other words, only the advanced laser precisely corrects vision on the upper corneal layer

without direct contact with the eye, allowing for the creation of a smooth corneal surface and rapid post-operative recovery.

As a one-step vision correction surgery using only the ‘Amaris SmartSurface laser’,

a shorter surgery time can be expected, and since there is no step for corneal ablation or flap creation,

there are no associated side effects, ensuring high stability.

Gangnam Station Today LASEK: 3D Precision Technology, Smart Pulse Technology (SPT)

Smart Pulse Technology is a technique that calculates laser irradiation points in 3D,

enabling more precise surgery.

It is a 3D stereoscopic laser algorithm designed to closely match the actual curvature of the cornea,

leading to rapid vision recovery and a smoother residual corneal layer after surgery.

This technology was developed to enable more precise surgery by calculating 3D laser irradiation points

to match the spherical shape of the actual eyeball.

Compared to conventional all-laser LASEK surgery, the error between the predicted corneal ablation amount

and the actual ablated corneal amount is smaller,

thereby improving surgical safety.

Just as objects appear clearer when the surface of eyeglass lenses is clean and smooth,

the quality of vision can vary depending on how smooth and even the surface of our cornea is.

Since the cornea is the first part light passes through before reaching the retina,

its surface condition directly affects the clarity of vision.

After typical laser vision correction surgery, the corneal surface may remain somewhat rough,

requiring a certain recovery period until vision stabilizes.

However, the ‘Smart Pulse’ technology applied in the Amaris laser

maximizes the smoothness of the cornea during the surgical process.

This allows for a clearer and cleaner visual field immediately after surgery

and can positively impact the improvement of visual quality.

In other words, the outcome of vision correction is not merely about achieving the correct prescription;

the quality of vision can vary depending on how evenly the corneal surface is refined.

In this regard, Smart Pulse technology holds significant meaning.

At Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic, we provide more precise and faster-recovering Today LASEK surgery

based on SmartSurface and SPT technologies.

Additionally, we utilize a Gas Cooling System to reduce thermal damage to the cornea

and ‘Mitomycin’ to prevent corneal haze and myopia recurrence,

creating a systematic surgical environment that considers both improved visual quality and safety.

If you are currently considering vision correction surgery,

we hope you will consider Today LASEK at Gangnam Station through Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic

as a way to return to your daily life more quickly and safely.

Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic

is equipped with the latest equipment and a systematic examination system,

providing sincere one-on-one customized consultations and surgeries for each patient.

We always prioritize the patient and uphold transparency and safety above all else.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of surgery is Today LASEK?

Today LASEK is a vision correction surgery that uses advanced Amaris excimer laser equipment to perform all processes, from epithelial removal to stromal ablation, with a laser. It shortens surgery time and minimizes unnecessary damage with a 0.54mm ultra-precision laser beam, and offers high stability against external impact as it does not create a corneal flap.

What is SmartSurface technology?

SmartSurface is a technology that precisely irradiates the upper layer of the cornea with a laser to minimize corneal stress and preserve its biological characteristics. Unlike traditional LASEK, it uses only a laser without physical contact during corneal epithelial removal, creating a smooth corneal surface and aiding rapid recovery.

What is Smart Pulse Technology (SPT)?

Smart Pulse Technology (SPT) is a technology that calculates laser irradiation points in 3D, enabling more precise surgery. It designs a laser algorithm that closely matches the actual curvature of the cornea, leading to rapid vision recovery and a smoother residual corneal layer after surgery, thereby improving the quality of vision.

What are the main advantages of Today LASEK?

Today LASEK, through SmartSurface and SPT technologies, offers shorter surgery time, reduced risk of side effects, high stability, and fast, clear vision recovery after surgery.
