Hello from Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic 😊💙
Recently, there has been a surge of interest in New SMILE LASIK among those considering vision correction surgery.
‘What's different from traditional SMILE LASIK?’
‘Will it hurt less?’ ‘How long does recovery take?’
Many patients visit us with these questions.
Today, we'll take a comprehensive look at the entire process of New SMILE LASIK, from examination to surgery, recovery, and aftercare, providing detailed information that can help those considering vision correction surgery :)
New SMILE LASIK Examination and Consultation Stage

Before vision correction surgery, approximately 70 detailed tests are performed to precisely assess the individual's eye condition.
This examination is not just a simple vision measurement but a comprehensive assessment of the entire internal structure of the eye, including the cornea, lens, optic nerve, and macula.
This allows for early detection of eye diseases and an accurate determination of surgical suitability.
<Key Examination Items>
Basic Vision Test: Compares current vision with corrected vision to check the eye's fundamental state.
Auto Refraction & Corneal Curvature Test: Measures corneal shape and refractive state, used as basic data for surgical planning.
Corneal Topography & Thickness Test: Precisely analyzes corneal shape and thickness to determine surgical feasibility.
Pupil Size Measurement: Predicts the possibility of glare and reflects it in the surgical plan.
After all tests are completed, the medical staff will personally explain the results, inform you about the suitability of New SMILE LASIK surgery, estimated recovery speed, and precautions.
If you jot down any questions you have before the consultation, you can receive a more detailed and personalized consultation.
New SMILE LASIK Anesthesia and Surgical Procedure

On the day of surgery, after arriving at the hospital, the area around the eyes is disinfected, and anesthesia is mostly administered using eye drops.
This anesthesia temporarily blocks the sensation in the eye, allowing you to undergo surgery without pain.
Most patients feel only ‘slight pressure’ or ‘flashing lights,’ with almost no pain.
Surgery Time: Approximately 5 minutes for both eyes
Actual Laser Irradiation Time: Less than 20 seconds per eye
The surgery uses a femtosecond laser to create a micro-incision of less than 2mm inside the cornea, and then removes a corneal tissue slice called a ‘lenticule’ from within.
The incision site is small, and corneal damage is minimized, resulting in less pain and faster recovery than traditional LASIK, and a structure that is more resistant to external impact.
In particular, the latest ATOS device from Schwindt, Germany, used at Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic, enhances the accuracy of *astigmatism correction through a 7-dimensional eye tracking system and rotation axis compensation function.
Even those with severe astigmatism can experience precise vision correction effects.

New SMILE LASIK Recovery Period and Aftercare

The biggest advantages of New SMILE LASIK are its precise correction and rapid recovery.
Recovery is so fast that you can wash your face, shower, and apply light makeup from the day after surgery.
It is especially recommended for office workers who need to return to work quickly and students.
However, during the initial recovery period, lifestyle management is very important.
<Precautions>
Do not rub your eyes: Strong pressure before the cornea settles can hinder recovery.
Consistently use prescribed eye drops: Antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and artificial tears should be instilled as directed.
Regular check-ups are essential: It is advisable to periodically check vision stability and recovery status in the early stages.
By following these steps, you can quickly achieve clear vision and stable eyesight after surgery.
New SMILE LASIK is recommended for these individuals.

For those who no longer wish to wear glasses or contact lenses,
Those who desire fast recovery
Those who seek an improved quality of life
Those who engage in many outdoor activities
Those with astigmatism for whom correction accuracy is important
New SMILE LASIK is a *5th-generation vision correction surgery that combines minimal incision, pain reduction, fast recovery, and precise astigmatism correction, providing clear vision while preserving the eye's structure as much as possible.
