LASIK

LASIK Eye Surgery at Gangnam Bright Smile Eye Clinic

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a popular and highly effective eye surgery designed to correct vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. By reshaping the cornea, LASIK allows light entering the eye to be properly focused onto the retina, improving vision. At Gangnam Bright Smile Eye Clinic, we offer advanced LASIK procedures performed by our experienced ophthalmologists to help you achieve clearer, more comfortable vision without the need for glasses or contact lenses.

Benefits of LASIK Surgery

  • Quick Recovery: Most LASIK patients experience improved vision within a day or two, with minimal downtime.
  • Long-Lasting Results: LASIK provides a permanent solution for vision correction, reducing your dependence on corrective eyewear.
  • Minimal Discomfort: The procedure is relatively painless, and any discomfort usually resolves within a few hours.
  • Enhanced Quality of Life: LASIK improves your ability to perform daily tasks like driving, reading, and exercising without the hassle of glasses or contacts.



LASIK Candidacy

LASIK is suitable for most people who are looking to reduce or eliminate their dependence on glasses or contact lenses. Ideal candidates for LASIK at Gangnam Bright Smile Eye Clinic are:

  • Over 18 years old with a stable prescription for at least one year
  • In good overall health
  • Free from eye diseases such as cataracts or glaucoma
  • Not pregnant or nursing (as hormones can affect vision)
  • Have healthy corneas that can support the LASIK procedure

LASIK Procedure at Gangnam Bright Smile Eye Clinic

1.Pre-Operative Consultation
During your initial consultation, our specialists will evaluate your eye health and vision to determine if LASIK is right for you. We’ll also explain the procedure, discuss your goals, and answer any questions you may have.

2. Procedure
LASIK surgery is typically performed on an outpatient basis and takes about 15 minutes per eye. The steps include:

  • Numbing the Eyes: Eye drops are used to numb the eyes to ensure comfort during the procedure.
  • Creating the Flap: A thin flap is created in the cornea using a femtosecond laser or microkeratome.
  • Reshaping the Cornea: The excimer laser is used to reshape the cornea to correct refractive errors.
  • Repositioning the Flap: The corneal flap is gently replaced, where it naturally adheres without the need for stitches.

3. Post-Operative Care
After the procedure, you may experience mild irritation or dryness in the eyes, but this typically subsides within a few days. Our team will provide you with specific aftercare instructions, including the use of lubricating eye drops, to help ensure a smooth recovery.




LASIK Technology at Gangnam Bright Smile Eye Clinic

We use the latest LASIK technology to ensure precision, safety, and the best possible results:

  • Wavefront LASIK: This advanced technology creates a 3D map of your eye to customize the treatment to your specific needs, improving visual clarity and reducing glare or halos.
  • Femtosecond Laser: This laser creates an ultra-precise corneal flap, ensuring a faster recovery and reducing the risk of complications.




LASIK Recovery

Most patients experience improved vision within a few hours to a couple of days. However, it’s important to follow the post-operative instructions provided by our team for a smooth recovery. This may include:

  • Resting and avoiding strenuous activities for a few days
  • Using prescribed eye drops to prevent dryness and irritation
  • Avoiding rubbing your eyes for several weeks
  • Attending follow-up appointments to monitor your healing process
