Smart Smile LASIK: A Comprehensive Guide by Bright Sungmo Eye Clinic
Hello, this is Bright Sungmo Eye Clinic.
In recent times, many people, regardless of age or gender, are experiencing various eye problems such as deteriorating vision, dry eye syndrome, nearsightedness, and astigmatism due to frequent smartphone and computer use, and prolonged use of contact lenses.
Naturally, more people are becoming interested in vision correction surgery.
So, today we will explore LASIK, the most representative vision correction surgery!
LASIK, SMILE LASIK, Smart LASIK, Smart SMILE LASIK, SMILE Pro...
Searching online can lead you to a variety of surgeries, making it increasingly confusing.
To explain it simply and easily, the adjectives preceding LASIK often refer to the different surgical equipment used by each clinic.
So, what kind of equipment and surgery is used for "Smart SMILE LASIK" performed at Bright Sungmo Eye Clinic?
Smart SMILE LASIK is a 5th generation vision correction surgery that uses the ATOS equipment made by Schwind, a German company known for its Amaris series.
It involves separating a corneal lenticule by the amount of correction needed and removing it through a small incision.
It offers a safe vision improvement effect by preserving the maximum amount of residual cornea and preventing glare, aligning with the direction of blinking at a 70-degree angle to maintain corneal firmness.
Furthermore, the minimum lenticule thickness required in existing vision correction surgeries is eliminated, allowing for better preservation of residual corneal thickness.
By exhibiting a laser irradiation speed of 4 Mhz, which is 8 times faster than other companies' laser equipment, the irradiation time could be reduced.
Using a low laser energy of at least 75nJ, it minimizes corneal damage and maximizes corneal preservation through smoother corneal ablation than before.
With less corneal damage and greater corneal preservation, in summary:
Irradiation time and corneal heat damage are reduced, and safety is enhanced.
Eyes, like glasses and lenses, have a higher quality of vision the smoother the corneal surface.
Therefore,
creating a smooth lenticule is key.
If you are considering eye surgery,
you've probably imagined your eye twitching or moving during the surgery.
The ATOS used at Bright Sungmo Eye Clinic is equipped with a sophisticated 7D intelligent eye-tracking function, "Eye Tracking," that even compensates for eye rotation.
It can predict the eye's up, down, left, and right rotation, movement, Z-axis rotation, and even forward movement of the eye.
Even if there is a slight tremor or movement of the pupil during surgery,
it compensates for this with accurate centering,
preventing decentration during corneal lenticule creation.
This makes for a more accurate and safer surgery than conventional LASIK.
With its unique eye-tracking technology, it not only compensates for the aforementioned eye rotation but also prevents corneal opacity and corneal expansion that can occur during surgery,
leading to more stable and complete vision correction.
Question!
Did you know that the axis of astigmatism is different when you are standing versus lying down due to eye torsion?
Correcting the "eye torsion phenomenon," where the astigmatism axis measured while sitting before the examination differs from the astigmatism axis when lying down during surgery, is absolutely necessary for patients with astigmatism!
Smart SMILE can be implemented with the Sirius equipment, which can correct even higher-order aberrations of the cornea, along with ATOS,
correcting eye tracking and eye torsion phenomena for precise astigmatism correction.
General LASIK surgery involves incising the corneal surface and creating a flap.
This surgical method can cause dry eye syndrome and other side effects after vision correction surgery.
Smart SMILE LASIK is a "flapless surgery," characterized by reduced side effects and recovery time.
It also has the advantages of reducing the incidence of dry eye syndrome and being resistant to external impact.
Furthermore, on the Bright Sungmo Eye Clinic website, you can see an optional "Avellino DNA test" when looking at Smart SMILE LASIK and Today LASEK.
Now, most people have a lot of information about LASIK and LASEK,
but very few know exactly about the Avellino DNA test, which is necessary for safe surgery.
You may wonder why you need to get a DNA test when getting eye surgery,
This Avellino DNA test is a test to check for corneal dystrophy.
It can determine the presence of a serious hereditary corneal disease that can lead to blindness in the worst case scenario after vision correction surgery.
Avellino corneal dystrophy is a disease in which white spots appear on the cornea, gradually deteriorating vision.
The problem is that the symptoms worsen rapidly even with a small wound on the cornea.
Therefore, vision correction surgeries such as LASIK or LASEK, which require removing the cornea, can be a factor in rapidly worsening Avellino corneal dystrophy.
Bright Sungmo Eye Clinic recommends the Avellino DNA test to all patients who wish to have surgery in order to accurately diagnose and supplement.
It is a method of extracting and testing DNA from oral cells.
The procedure is simple, the results can be checked quickly, and it is safe because it can minimize the risk of blindness in advance.
Today, we learned about Bright Sungmo Eye Clinic's "Smart SMILE LASIK."
We hope that you will also refer to the reviews on the website to help you plan your surgery!
The medical staff at Bright Sungmo Eye Clinic prioritize the eye health of patients, so they conduct 1:1 precision examinations with optometrists before surgery.
Various precision examinations are performed, including the patient's vision, corneal condition, retinal thickness, and pupil size.
Through this, we provide consultations on the possibility of surgery, postoperative corrected vision,
and the most suitable surgical method for your eye condition.
We perform various precision examinations and are equipped with the latest surgical equipment.
Our ophthalmologists also have extensive clinical experience, so you can expect stable results.
We operate on a reservation system, so please feel free to make a reservation before visiting,
and feel free to contact us with any questions. :)
