SBS Good Morning 'Wednesday N Public Health Center' Smile Doctor Yeom Sabu TV video is out!

Hello everyone.

This is an announcement from Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic!

A video from Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic's official YouTube channel, Smile Doctor Yeom Sabu TV, showing eyelid sebum extraction, was featured on SBS Good Morning's 'Wednesday N Public Health Center' broadcast.

The broadcast that day focused on eye health.

In autumn, with its large daily temperature fluctuations, the incidence of dry eye syndrome increases, leading to more patients visiting for dry eye treatment.

Many people tend to dismiss dry eye syndrome as minor, but if it worsens, it can lead to vision impairment, so early intervention is important.

A key part of dry eye treatment can be

the treatment of extracting eyelid sebum.

This is an actual video that appeared on SBS Good Morning's 'Wednesday N Public Health Center' broadcast.

It shows Dr. Lee Chang-mok of Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic performing the treatment himself,

and you can watch the original on Smile Doctor Yeom Sabu TV!

Isn't it amazing how such large eyelid sebum can come out, even if it's not visible externally, when viewed through a microscope?

Please do not try this at home by yourselves,

but visit a nearby ophthalmologist for dry eye treatment!

Q&A with Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic

Q: I never knew there was sebum in the eyes. Why is it there?

A: Sebum can form for various reasons.

Due to reasons such as eye makeup, smoking, alcohol consumption, and hormonal changes,

it can occur due to inflammation of the meibomian glands (which protect tears and create a healthy oil layer).

Q: What happens if it's not extracted in time?

A: If not extracted in time, purulent inflammation (pus) can form in the meibomian glands,

which is a stye.

Keeping the meibomian glands clean normally

can prevent styes.

Q: The extraction video looks painful. How is it?

A: We sufficiently anesthetize with eye drops and extract meticulously under a microscope,

so it's not as painful as you might think.

Q: Does everyone get it?

A: Not everyone gets it.

It's best to visit an ophthalmologist for a detailed examination

to check the condition of your eyes.

Q: Who replies to comments on Smile Doctor Yeom Sabu TV?

A: Absolutely no clinic staff or associates reply.

Dr. Yeom Dong-ju, Chief Director of Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic, reads each of your

precious comments and

replies to them himself.
