SNU EYE CLINIC

Restore the lost brightness of eyesight
Regain the original bright vision

Our eyeballs resemble the phases of the moon.
The moon changes from a full moon to a crescent moon over time due to its orbit.
Likewise, people gradually lose their original vision for different reasons.

SNU Eye Clinic believes that vision correction is not just a simple surgery,
but a journey to regain everyone’s original shine.

Just as the crescent moon regains its light and returns to a full moon,
SNU Eye Clinic will be with you on your journey to regain your original bright vision.

Introduction of SMILE Pro in SNU Eye Clinic and First Surgery

Characteristic of SMILE Eye Surgery

Surgery that makes a minimal incision of only 2mm in the cornea
Instead of cutting or opening the surface of the cornea, the laser is used to separate only the parenchymal area by the amount of correction.
Femtosecond laser SMILE Eye Surgery – Pain relief through quick surgery, quick return to daily activities.
600 times lower energy sophistication.Enhanced stability
High myopia and high astigmatism can be corrected, minimizing the probability of myopic regression

Eyes suitable for SMILE Eye Surgery

CASE 01High myopia
CASE 02High astigmatism
CASE 03If the pupil is large
CASE 04If there is a
corneal disease
CASE 05Corneal asymmetry
CASE 06If dryness is severe

SNU Eye Clinic adjusts

the size of the optical unit, cutting amount, axis of astigmatism,
and energy irradiation according to the characteristics of each patient.

SMILE PRO

Smile Pro, the choice of professionals for perfect results

Innovative technology

Extremely accurate.

  • CentraLign

    It accurately detects eye movements and
    automatically takes the center.

  • OcuLign

    By correcting the rotation of the astigmatism axis,
    more complete surgery is possible.

Faster.

More than 3x faster laser exposure

Robotic.

Smart robotic assistance, easy patient access
Smile Pro preemptively introduced clinic
to achieve 100 eye surgeries
for the first time in Korea

The general manager of refractive surgery
at ZEISS headquarters in Germany
visits the first Smile Pro surgery site in Korea.

Features of Smile Pro

  • Live monitoring of surgical process
  • ZEISS ultra-precision ophthalmic surgical microscope
  • 2 million laser irradiations per second Laser irradiation time reduced to only 7 seconds
  • Equipped with an automatic pressure compensation system that automatically corrects even the slightest movement of the patient
SNU EYE CLINIC

SNU’s unique bespoke smile for your eyes.

Eyes appropriate for Smile Pro

CASE 01High myopia
CASE 02High astigmatism
CASE 03Corneal asymmetry
CASE 04Those with a strong
fear of surgery
CASE 05Those who want faster recovery and clear vision results
LENS IMPLANTATION SURGERY

Accurate eye measurement, unmatched know-how
for over
20 years of lens implantation

Customized lens insertion optimized for each patient’s eye space SNU FITTING

Lens implantation surgery at SNU Eye Clinic is safer because it uses 3D equipment to structurally identify the eye, determine the type of lens
and insertion location appropriate for the individual, and then perform the surgery.

Chung Eui Sang
  • 01Lens implantation surgery has been performed since the introduction of lens implantation in Korea in 2001.

  • 02Toric ICL lens turnover rate is less than 1%
    (statistics for patients with astigmatism correction lens implantation at SNU Ophthalmology)

  • 032005 Toric ICL (astigmatism correction posterior lens implantation) domestically introduced and clinical research conducted

  • 04Agreement ceremony between EVO ICL manufacturer STARR
    and Excellent Lens Implantation Hospital

Lens implantation surgery method

Unlike vision correction surgery using lasers, the cornea is preserved without being cut.
This is a surgical method to correct vision by inserting lenses of a certain capacity.

Appropriate eye for
lens implantation surgery

CASE 01When LASIK and LASEK are not possible
CASE 02When the cornea is too thin compared to the refractive error
CASE 03When the pupil size is large at night
CASE 04If you have severe dry eye syndrome
CASE 05If you have a corneal disease such as keratoconus
PRESBYOPIA, CATARACT

Who would you entrust to your only eye for Presbyopia Cataract Surgery?

Ophthalmologist who has undergone
presbyopia cataract surgery before will perform the surgery.

Reference doctor Chung Eui Sang of multifocal intraocular lens company Alcon's panoptics and BBTI lenses

Alcon, ZEISS, Fine Vision, etc.
Various multifocal intraocular lenses.
Recognized as a reference doctor.

Presbyopia symptoms that become
invisible as you age VS Cataracts in presbyopia
usually come together.

  • Presbyopia

    As one ages, there is a phenomenon where nearby objects are not seen well, due to a decrease in the elasticity of the eye's lens and an weakening of the ability to adjust its thickness.

  • Cataract

    It is a disease where the lens becomes cloudy, similar to frosted glass, leading to a decline in vision. We recommend seeking treatment before the vision impairment worsens.

Choosing the most appropriate surgical method based on precise examinations is crucial,
as symptoms and conditions can vary among patients.

Multifocal Intraocular Lens

Multifocal intraocular lens implantation surgery that can correct presbyopia and cataracts at once.

SNU Eye Clinic recommends the most suitable lens for the patient based on information such as
the patient's vision, disease status, lifestyle, and primary field of view.
