[SBS Biz Saengsaeng Economy Information Talk Talk] <Lee Sang-jun's Unconditionally Goes!> Director Yeom Dong-ju Appears

Director Yeom Dong-ju of Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic appeared on the SBS Biz 'Saengsaeng Economy Information Talk Talk' broadcast,

specifically on the episode ‘Lee Sang-jun’s Unconditionally Goes!’

Why did the comedic duo Lee Sang-jun and Kim Geun-hye visit Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic?

Ms. Kim Geun-hye, with her beautiful heart,

made an appointment and visited because she was worried about Lee Sang-jun, who usually spends too much time on his phone, and wanted him to get an eye exam.

These days, modern people, regardless of age or gender, are exposed to electronic devices for long periods,

and I was no different, so I strongly empathized while watching the broadcast.

Based on Lee Sang-jun’s symptoms, Director Yeom Dong-ju asked him how many hours he uses his smartphone per day.

At this rate, perhaps the smartphone should be considered Lee Sang-jun’s second organ…

Director Yeom Dong-ju was full of concern.

First, he suggested that it would be good to get a detailed eye examination, as various equipment is available.

At Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic, various equipment is used for detailed examinations, from vision tests to

the degree of eye aging,

whether eye diseases like cataracts or glaucoma are progressing,

corneal thickness, and more.

He was anxious, wondering if any eye disease might be progressing.

What do you think the results were?!

After several detailed examinations, Lee Sang-jun’s final eye condition showed:

- Inflammation of the meibomian glands

- Difference in tear film height

- Rapid tear film breakup

indicating that dry eye syndrome was progressing.

Director Yeom Dong-ju promised that through simple warm compresses and IPL treatment using a laser,

the inflammation of the meibomian glands could be resolved, and insufficient tears could be supplemented, leading to healthy eyes.

It’s so bright and flashy, it feels like receiving a high-end procedure at a dermatology clinic, doesn’t it?

The light energy from the equipment is converted into thermal energy, temporarily raising the skin surface temperature,

which helps to melt and smoothly discharge hardened sebum in the meibomian glands.

This treatment also sterilizes the eyelid margins and constricts capillaries to reduce inflammatory substances,

and is performed as part of dry eye treatment at Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic.

After the treatment, isn’t there a clear difference in Lee Sang-jun’s eyes before and after?

You can see Lee Sang-jun’s refreshed and clean eyelids.

In reality, as people get older, various eye diseases, in addition to dry eye syndrome, can occur due to aging.

It’s important to manage your eyes regularly and get periodic eye exams, isn’t it?

Moreover, as a helpful tip, the eye exams Lee Sang-jun received are ‘eligible for health insurance benefits’,

so there’s no need to procrastinate thinking the price might be too expensive!
