LASIK vs Relex Smile

“Clear sight” a blessing some of us are deprived of. The routine dependence on contacts or glasses can be sickening, particularly if it hampers outdoor activities like sports and adventure. To help people with imperfect vision, there have been various scientific advents. LASIK (Laser in-situ keratomileusis) is the oldest, while ReLex SMILE (Refractive Lenticule Extraction & Small incision lenticule extraction) is one of the latest.
LASIK is the laser refractive procedure which may has advantages like postoperative improvement and stabilization of visual acuity, but has its own share of drawbacks.
LASIK is not just painful but some of the patients may also suffer from side effects such as dry eyes, reduced vision in low lighting conditions. Visual distortions such as glare and haloes can still occur, while flap-related complications, inflammation, or infection in few if not many cases have been found to have serious consequences.
There exist better options
The ‘blade-free’ version of LASIK that uses femtosecond lasers has been a one of the major advancements in the recent times. But ReLex SMILE could be described as more advanced and much better technology. This has been available for some time now and has provided some of the most encouraging results which might not have been possible with basic LASIK. Introduced as a single laser refractive procedure without the use of a laser, ReLex SMILE is a single-step, single instrument operation. ReLex SMILE uses tissue removal instead of tissue ablation and it achieves a high precision of cutting. This contributes to the predictability of the procedure.
ReLex SMILE is an advanced technology which provides potentially a more accurate ablation. This is because it does not requires a retractable flap, thus reducing the surgical time. It also reduces the patient’s inconvenience of moving from one laser to another, as required in LASIK. Moreover, initial clinical results have also been promising, which found that postoperative refractive outcomes after ReLex SMILE were much better. Also the safety and efficacy of ReLex SMILE have been confirmed by various reach studies.

How is Relex SMILE better than LASIK?
ReLex SMILE is a novel form of ‘flapless’ corneal refractive surgery and is one of the most modern technologies available today. It uses only one femtosecond laser to complete the refractive surgery, potentially reducing surgical time and side effects. This technology could potentially and completely replace LASIK in the future. Just as good, or even better than LASIK in terms of refractive outcome, ReLex SMILE also has additional benefits, such as reduction in higher-order aberrations that leads to better quality of vision.

Whereas LASIK procedures involve cutting a flap, folding it back and removing the corneal tissue through point-by-point ablation using an excimer laser,
ZEISS ReLEx® SMILE utilizes the high-precision femtosecond laser VisuMax® from ZEISS to create a lenticule inside the cornea and access incision in a single treatment step.

Protecting Your Eyes from Solar Radiation

The sun supports all life on our planet, but its life-giving rays also pose dangers.

The sun’s primary danger is in the form of Ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UV radiation is a component of solar radiation, but it can also be given off by artificial sources like welding machines, tanning beds and lasers.
Most are aware of the harm UV radiation can do to the skin, but many may not realize that exposure to UV radiation can harm the eyes or that other components of solar radiation can also affect vision.
There are three types of UV radiation: UV-C is absorbed by the ozone layer and does not present any threat; UV-A and UV-B radiation can have adverse long- and short-term effects on the eyes and vision.
If your eyes are exposed to excessive amounts of UV radiation over a short period of time, you are likely to experience an effect called photokeratitis.

Like a “sunburn of the eye”, photokeratitis may be painful and include symptoms such as red eyes, a foreign body sensation or gritty feeling in the eyes, extreme sensitivity to light and excessive tearing. Fortunately, this is usually temporary and rarely causes permanent damage to the eyes.
Long-term exposure to UV radiation, however, can be more serious. Scientific studies and research have shown that exposure to small amounts of UV radiation over a period of many years increases the chance of developing a cataract and may cause damage to the retina, a nerve-rich lining of the eye that is used for seeing. Additionally, chronic exposure to shorter wavelength visible light (i.e. blue and violet light) may also be harmful to the retina.
The longer the eyes are exposed to solar radiation, the greater the risk of developing later in life such conditions as cataracts or macular degeneration. Since it is not clear how much exposure to solar radiation will cause damage, the AOA recommends wearing quality sunglasses that offer UV protection and wearing a hat or cap with a wide brim whenever you spend time outdoors. Also, certain contact lenses can provide additional UV protection.
To provide adequate protection for your eyes, sunglasses should:

• block out 99 to 100 percent of both UV-A and UV-B radiation;
• screen out 75 to 90 percent of visible light;
• be perfectly matched in color and free of distortion and imperfection; and
• have lenses that are gray for proper color recognition.

The lenses in sunglasses should be made from polycarbonate or Trivex® material if you participate in potentially eye-hazardous work or sports. These lenses provide the most impact resistance.
If you spend a lot of time outdoors in bright sunlight, wrap around frames can provide additional protection from the harmful solar radiation.
Don’t forget protection for children and teenagers. They typically spend more time in the sun than adults.
Be sure to see your doctor of optometry at least every two years [recommended schedule of examinations] for a comprehensive eye examination. It is a good way to monitor your eye health, maintain good vision and keep track of your solar radiation protection needs as well as new advances in eye protection.

Z4 SCOUT LASIK

The staffs were friendly and helpful, Doctor seemed to competent and gentle.

 I was mildly off put by the giggles from surgical support staff who fumbled and dropped equipment and were seemingly inept at adminstering analygisic eye drops before the surgery. The surgery was comfortable even though I was a bit worried about my eyes However considering that lasers were cutting holes through my eyeballs It was surprisingly minor procedure.All in all regarding the surgery, It was quick, relatively painless and the doctor seemed competent.I would have consider this a fantastic procesure,  However unfortunately as the anesthesis were off the pain became so excruciating that my eye muscles bagan to spasm continuely. I was concerned that this contractions may have affected the healing prrocess and the outcome of the surgery.

what irks me is that the simple prescription of the anelgesic eyedrops, or a single dose of a muscle relaxent, or an opite would have mitigated the contractions releaved the pain and allow the patient to sleep through the healing process.
 Now after 1 month, My eyes are getting better and I am very happy with the result that I could see better without glasses,  Thank you for the help and wish to be your business goes well.

  * Like what I said. I think because every person has different level of pain nervs, It would help the patients more if they would have proper medicines for after surgery.

Presbyopia at Joeunnun International Eye Center

Presbyopia develops gradually. You may first notice these signs and symptoms after age 40:

• A tendency to hold reading material farther away to make the letters clearer
• Blurred vision at normal reading distance
• Eyestrain or headaches after reading or doing close work

You may notice these symptoms are worse if you are tired, drank alcohol or are in an area with dim lighting.
When to see a doctor
See an eye doctor if blurry close-up vision is keeping you from reading, doing close work or enjoying other normal activities. He or she can determine whether you have presbyopia and advise you of your options.
Seek immediate medical care if you:

• Have a sudden loss of vision in one eye
• Experience sudden hazy or blurred vision
• See flashes of light, black spots, or halos around lights

Why You Should Choose All-Laser Lasik

Traditional LASIK vs. All-laser LASIK

The most important step in custom laser vision correction surgery is the creation of a flap. In order to reach the inner cornea to correct your viison, the doctor must first lift the very thin top layer of your cornea. How that is accomplilshed is the real difference between these two types of surgery.

With traditional LASIK this layer is create by using a blade, known as microkeratome. This hand-held device makes a cut on the eye so when the flap is lifted, there is a hinge created.

With custom all-laser LASIK like that found at Kangnam Joeunnun Vision Clinic, the flap is created by using a computer-guided femtosecond laser. Tiny pulses of infrared light are used to create a series of bubbles that separate the tissues, and the femptosecond laser technology creates the customized flap dimensions and enables the surgeon to create and then lift a highly precise flap with a consistent thickness. This advanced technology is a safer and more precise way to reach the cornea.

Other Advantages of All-laser LASIK

• There are fewer complications while making the flap like flap displacement
• There is lower intraocular pressure when creating a flap with a femtosecond laser
• There is greater flap stability
• There is virtually no chance of infection or inflammation using a laser
• Certain patients who could not have LASIK before due to thin corneas, can now have their vision corrected with custom all-laser LASIK 

The Most Important Part of Surgery - Choosing Surgical Expertise and Experienced Surgeon
