Newsmile LASIK achieves 95% success: Remarkable astigmatism correction and rapid recovery
Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic's Newsmile LASIK, performed with the German Schwind Atos device, offers enhanced astigmatism correction, minimal pain, fast recovery, and a low incidence of side effects like dry eyes. Clinical results show 99% astigmatism correction and 98% residual myopia for target vision, even in high astigmatism cases.
Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic announced that Director Hyo-sung Yoon gave an invited lecture at the ‘20th Schwind User Meeting’ held in Dubai from January 24th to 28th.
The Schwind User Meeting was a gathering where ophthalmic authorities from around the world shared their expertise and clinical experience in vision correction surgery.
At this meeting, Director Hyo-sung Yoon presented on the high astigmatism correction efficacy of Newsmile LASIK surgery, based on clinical results over a year and a half.
Newsmile LASIK is a 5th-generation vision correction surgery performed with the Atos device from Schwind, Germany.
It is known for its enhanced astigmatism correction, less pain, faster recovery, and a lower incidence of side effects such as dry eyes.
Director Hyo-sung Yoon explained, ‘Observing a large number of patients who underwent Newsmile LASIK for six months, we found excellent astigmatism correction regardless of the degree of astigmatism.’ He added, ‘In particular, while conventional Smile LASIK tended to result in under-correction as the degree of astigmatism became more severe, Newsmile LASIK did not show under-correction even in the high astigmatism group of -3D (diopters) or more.’
Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic is achieving remarkable results with Newsmile LASIK, using the newly introduced ATOS laser, through extensive clinical experience and continuous research and development, ensuring safety as well as 98% residual myopia for target vision and 99% astigmatism correction.
We will continue to do our best to be Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic, providing satisfaction with patient-centered medical services.
