Finding the Right LASIK Eye Center in Gangnam: Understanding Your Individual Needs
Hello.
I'm Dr. Kim Joong-hoon, head director of Gangnam ID Eye Clinic.
It's a pleasure to greet you.
Since the introduction of vision correction surgery in Korea, more and more people are choosing it as a graduation or employment gift.
It's a great opportunity to throw away uncomfortable glasses and lenses and try an external transformation.
To achieve satisfactory results with vision correction surgery, there are things you need to check and compare before and after the procedure.
First, before undergoing vision correction surgery, it's important to understand the differences between the types of surgeries, as recovery times, advantages, and disadvantages vary.
Since everyone's eyes are shaped differently, not all methods are suitable for everyone, so thorough checking is a necessary step.
Today, through Gangnam eye clinic recommendations, we'll learn about various vision correction surgeries and how to choose the right one for you.
“LASIK and LASEK: What Everyone Knows”
Both LASIK and LASEK restore vision by reshaping the cornea with a laser, but they differ in whether or not a flap is created.
A flap is a kind of corneal cap created by cutting the upper layer of the cornea.
LASIK involves creating a corneal flap, lifting it, applying a laser to the stroma, and then replacing the flap.
Because there is no nerve exposure, there is less pain and a faster recovery and return to daily life.
However, it is vulnerable to external impact and may not be suitable for those with thin corneas or high myopia or astigmatism.
LASEK, on the other hand, does not create a flap but removes only the corneal epithelium before applying the laser to the uppermost stroma.
Although there may be initial pain due to corneal nerve exposure, it allows for a certain amount of residual corneal tissue to be preserved.
Since no flap is created, there is no risk of the flap shifting or detaching due to external impact, making it suitable for soldiers, athletes, and others at high risk of trauma.
Both vision correction surgeries have been widely performed, but each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
All-laser LASEK, which combines the advantages of both methods and compensates for the disadvantages, has become increasingly popular.
“All-Laser LASEK: An Improved Design”
All-laser LASEK, which has recently been developed, is characterized by cutting the corneal surface with a laser only.
Thanks to the use of a laser rather than a physical cutting surface, it reduces pain and shortens recovery time compared to general LASEK.
In addition, since all processes are performed with a laser, the procedure takes only about 10 minutes, and there is less risk of side effects such as corneal haze or dry eye.
It is a vision correction surgery that can be used even in cases of high myopia, high astigmatism, or thin corneas.
It is an efficient and stable alternative for those who want vision correction because it combines the advantages of existing LASIK and LASEK.
“Two-Day LASEK: Stability and Efficiency”
Two-day LASEK, one of the most popular vision correction surgeries these days, uses the latest Amaris Red device to cut the corneal epithelium and stroma at once without separating them.
It reduces corneal damage compared to existing methods, significantly improving previously identified shortcomings, and allows recovery in two days with little pain.
In addition, it uses an ultra-precise laser to cut the cornea, and because it uses a 7-dimensional eye-tracking system that predicts and responds to minute eye movements in advance,
it can reduce errors in the laser irradiation process during vision correction and greatly improve safety in terms of results.
Finally, it is equipped with a thermal detection system to prevent overlapping irradiation of the same area, reducing the risk of side effects and allowing for satisfactory results.
“Safe LASEK: Safely Solving High Astigmatism and Myopia”
If you have thin corneas or extremely high myopia or astigmatism, vision correction surgery may be naturally limited.
In this case, Save LASEK may be an option.
Save LASEK is performed using E500 White equipment and has the advantage of minimizing corneal ablation to maintain structural stability and reduce the occurrence of side effects such as dry eye.
In addition to having a wide correction range, it can improve pain, recovery time, and the possibility of regression through a one-step method.
In addition, astigmatism correction was possible by tracking eye rotation, and the degree of eye rotation in real time could be confirmed by the change in the position of the cross axis in the microscope.
It was possible to check the % value of the laser irradiation during the procedure with a microscope, so it was possible to confirm that the laser irradiation was safely completed.
It also has a built-in ablation program that increases the laser shot to the periphery by 15-20%, so even when the pupil dilates, the light from the periphery converges with the light from the center to reduce light scattering.
“If You Want to Proceed with a Gangnam Eye Clinic Recommendation?”
As times have changed, the performance of medical equipment has clearly improved, and medical technology has also advanced with the use of this medical equipment.
However, there was one thing that was being missed: how to choose a Gangnam eye clinic and the process.
Even if medical technology has advanced with medical equipment, the safety and effectiveness may vary depending on where you receive vision correction surgery, and satisfaction may also vary.
Therefore, in order to receive vision correction surgery safely, it is important to carefully consider pre-operative eye examination, availability of the latest equipment, the skills of the medical staff, and systematic post-operative care.
Considering your individual occupation, hobbies, lifestyle, family history, and medical history, it is a safe way to reduce side effects and sequelae to receive consultation on a method that suits you and receive treatment from experienced medical staff.
As it is important to establish a customized plan that prioritizes safety, be sure to choose a Gangnam eye clinic that has excellent equipment and experienced medical staff, and then combine regular checkups and thorough management to protect the health of your eyes.
Thank you for reading this long article. This has been Kim Joong-hoon, head director of Gangnam ID Eye Clinic.
