Worried about Sanbaek-an or Sabaek-an? Pupil cosmetic surgery, Eye Ring surgery!

Hello. This is Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic😊
You've probably heard terms like ‘sanbaek-an’ and ‘sabaek-an’ a lot.
What do ‘sanbaek-an’ and ‘sabaek-an’ mean?
What is Sanbaek-an?

Sanbaek-an is not strictly a medical term.
Literally, in Chinese characters, sanbaek = 三白 = three whites.
This refers to the condition where the whites of the eyes are visible in three parts of the eye.
Then, sabaek-an would mean a eye shape where the whites are visible in all four places.
In cases of sabaek-an and sanbaek-an, it usually occurs when the pupil is smaller than average, or when the eye itself is larger than the pupil.
While many cases are congenital,
recently, many cases are acquired.
Reasons for acquired Sanbaek-an and Sabaek-an

The first reason for acquired sanbaek-an is aging.
This is a case where it naturally occurs as the eyelids droop downwards due to aging.
The second reason is side effects from cosmetic surgery.
These are side effects from lateral canthoplasty, epicanthoplasty, and double eyelid surgery performed for eye shape correction.
Finally, a pathological reason is hyperthyroidism.
This is a case where the eyeball protrudes due to an abnormality in the thyroid, causing a change in the eye shape.
(In cases of illness, an examination after visiting the clinic is absolutely necessary.)
Sanbaek-an and sabaek-an caused by these reasons have long been perceived as unfavorable in physiognomy and are often depicted as scary characters, so many people seem to be stressed by them.
How to correct Sanbaek-an and Sabaek-an?

The method many people choose for sanbaek-an correction is circle lenses.
Generally, circle lenses have the advantage of good accessibility, but when worn for a long time, oxygen supply to the cornea is not smooth, increasing the likelihood of various eye diseases.
Also, if new blood vessels grow and penetrate into the area called the iris, a phenomenon may occur where the iris appears smaller.
Eye Ring surgery, like wearing circle lenses for life

Eye Ring surgery is a cosmetic procedure that involves inserting a circular ring into the subconjunctival space around the cornea to enlarge the size of the pupil.
The silicone used in the surgery is medical implant grade, harmless to the human body, and the principle is similar to putting a ring around the eye, just as you would put a ring on your finger.
Since an ocular implant approved by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety is used, the surgery can be performed safely. If cosmetic issues such as color or thickness arise, the Eye Ring can be safely removed or replaced at any time after the surgery.
Our Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic prioritizes safety and transparency by performing surgery tailored to each individual's eyes through accurate examination and consultation, so please visit us with confidence at any time😊
