Presbyopia and Cataracts.
Time won't heal them.

As time constantly flows, our eyes are constantly at work.
They are among the first parts of the body to experience aging.

Cataracts are no longer just an issue for the elderly.
We are seeing a dramatic rise in cataract cases
among people in their 40s and 50s.

In fact, data from the National Health Insurance Service
reveals that Cataract Surgery was the number one procedure
among the top 20 surgeries in South Korea in 2019.

This trend is accelerating, with a 20.24% increase in cataract patients over the last three years
- the highest growth rate among major medical treatments.

Cataracts and presbyopia often come together.
A cataract causes visual impairment where the lens becomes cloudy and opaque
due to various reasons, while presbyopia is a condition where vision becomes blurry
due to a decrease in the elasticity and focusing power of the weakened lens.

With cataracts, you may experience symptoms such as overlapping objects, dim vision, or a feeling of fog in your field of vision. Because these symptoms are similar to simple presbyopia, they are easy to neglect, making regular eye check-ups necessary.

    • Definition of Presbyopia
    • Presbyopia: A Natural Condition That Comes with Age
    • Presbyopia refers to the gradual loss of your eye's ability
      to focus on nearby objects as you get older.
      Rather than being a disease, it is a natural visual change caused
      by the aging of the eye's crystalline lens.
    • Definition of Cataracts
    • Cataracts: A Clouding of the Lens
    • A cataract is a condition where the normally clear lens
      of the eye becomes cloudy, typically resulting in an overall foggy
      or blurred field of vision. Because it progresses slowly,
      many people may not notice the changes at first.
      Since the symptoms of visual impairment vary depending on the location
      and severity of the lens clouding, proactive treatment and surgery are highly recommended.

Ensuring Safety, Pinpoint Accuracy, and Minimal Pain
LENSAR Femtosecond Laser Cataract Surgery System

FEMTO SECOND

LENS AR

  • Approx. 10-Minute Procedure

  • Rapid Recovery

  • Minimal Tissue Damage

  • 3D Biometric Data Analysis

  • Presbyopia & Cataract Center
  • FEMTO SECOND LASER

This ultra-precise laser emits incredibly short
pulses lasting just one-quadrillionth of a second.
By minimizing impact on surrounding tissues,
it significantly lowers the risk of corneal damage
and complications, while also reducing both
surgery time and pain.

  • Presbyopia & Cataract Center
  • Low Energy Application

Near-Zero Energy

Traditional cataract surgery requires high energy
to break up and emulsify the hardened lens.
In contrast, the LENSAR system uses near-zero energy
for incisions and emulsification, effectively preventing
side effects such as corneal edema and endothelial cell damage.

  • Augmented Reality

Personalized Augmented Reality

By creating a full 3D reconstruction of each
patient’s unique eye structure—capturing
everything from the specific shape of the cornea
and lens to their exact tilt—we are able
to deliver the laser to a precisely calculated
location with flawless accuracy.

Surgery Using a Laser

From incision to fragmentation
at once with a laser.

It takes about 2 seconds to incise the lens capsule in an exact circle,
and the laser immediately fragments the cloudy lens.
Through energy with low stimulation, you can expect
less pain and quick recovery after surgery.

  • SMILE Cataract Surgery Process

Since cataracts generally do not recur and intraocular
lenses (IOLs) are designed to last a lifetime,
cataract surgery is typically a once-in-a-lifetime procedure.

Surgical Process

  • Laser Circular Capsulotomy:
    Making a precise circular opening in the lens capsule using a laser.

  • Laser Lens Fragmentation:
    Breaking up the cloudy lens with laser energy.

  • Lens Removal:
    Extracting the cloudy lens using advanced equipment.

  • IOL Implantation & Positioning:
    Inserting and securing the new intraocular lens in place.

Cataract Surgery,
A Competent Medical Team
You Can Trust is the
Most Important

Cataract surgery, where the process of incising
the lens capsule and inserting the selected
artificial lens is important.
A competent medical team with abundant clinical
experience proves it with results.
