The Efficacy and Safety of New SMILE LASIK at Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic
Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic shares academic news on New SMILE LASIK, highlighting its advanced features like eye-tracking and lenticule creation, which offer superior correction for high astigmatism and corneal tissue preservation.
19th International SCHWIND User Meeting
First in Korea!
ATOS Laser Surgery Results Announced
.
.
Hello,
This is Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic.
We are sharing academic news from abroad
regarding New SMILE LASIK.
.
.
.
.
.
The region with the highest number of myopic patients
in the world is Asia,
and among Asian countries,
Korea has the highest rate.
Therefore,
vision correction surgeries
are performed more frequently
in Korea than in many other countries.
.
.
.
.
.
In Korea,
lenticule extraction vision correction surgeries
are widely performed.
There are two types:
SMILE LASIK using the ZEISS VisuMax laser,
and New SMILE LASIK using the SCHWIND ATOS laser.
.
.
.
.
.
At Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic,
we perform New SMILE LASIK
using the ATOS laser.
Our clinic, Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic,
has the most clinical cases
of lenticule extraction surgery
using the ATOS laser
worldwide.
.
.
.
.
.
At the German Refractive Surgery Society meeting
held in Frankfurt,
our director, Dr. Hyo-Sung Yoon,
was the first in Korea
to present his expertise and surgical results
on New SMILE LASIK
using the ATOS laser.
It was a meaningful occasion where ophthalmologists
from all over the world gathered
to share and discuss
topics related to refractive surgery.
.
.
.
.
.
New SMILE LASIK
corrects ocular cyclotorsion
through an eye-tracking device and eye tracking,
making it more effective
for patients with high astigmatism
compared to traditional SMILE LASIK.
.
.
.
.
.
When creating the lenticule,
no side cut is made,
which allows for
greater corneal tissue preservation.
.
.
.
.
.
Furthermore, at the conference,
the safety and efficacy of New SMILE LASIK
were presented, showing that
over 98% of patients
who underwent New SMILE LASIK
at Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic
achieved their target corrected vision.
.
.
.
.
.
Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic
is the first ophthalmology clinic (at the private clinic level)
in Korea to introduce
the ATOS laser,
and we strive to help everyone
see safely and healthily
through New SMILE LASIK.
