At Glory Seoul Eye Clinic in Gangnam, a wide range of eye care treatments and procedures are offered. Below is an in-depth look into their primary services including LASIK, LASEK, IOL (Intraocular Lenses), presbyopia treatment, and cataract surgery.

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis)

• Pre-operative Examination: Comprehensive evaluation including corneal thickness, eye pressure, and detailed mapping of the eye’s surface.
• Procedure: Uses an excimer laser to reshape the cornea for correcting myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.
• Post-operative Care: Includes medication for comfort and healing, along with follow-up examinations to monitor the recovery.

LASEK (Laser-Assisted Sub-Epithelial Keratectomy)

• Pre-operative Examination: Similar in-depth eye examination as LASIK to determine eligibility.
• Procedure: Involves creating a thin flap in the epithelium, then using a laser to reshape the cornea. Suitable for patients with thin corneas.
• Recovery: Includes a post-operative kit, bandage contact lens to promote healing, and follow-up checks to ensure proper healing.

IOL (Intraocular Lenses)

• Consultation and Evaluation: Diagnosis of lens-related issues and determination of the appropriate IOL type.
• Procedure Options:
  • Phakic IOLs: Inserted without removing the natural lens, suitable for patients who are not candidates for corneal refractive surgery.
  • Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE): Replacement of the eye's natural lens with an artificial IOL, often used for presbyopia or high lens prescription.
• Post-operative Care: Follow-up visits to adjust vision correction if necessary and ensure proper lens adjustment.

Presbyopia Treatment

• Diagnosis and Evaluation: Identifying the degree of presbyopia through comprehensive vision tests.
• Treatment Options:
  • Monovision LASIK: Correcting one eye for near vision and the other for distant vision.
  • Multifocal IOLs: Replacing the natural lens with a multifocal IOL to improve vision at all distances.
  • Corneal Inlays: Implanting a small device into the cornea to improve focus on near objects.

Cataracts

• Pre-operative Assessment: Detailed eye exam to evaluate the extent of the cataract and eye health.
• Surgical Procedures:
  • Phacoemulsification: Small incision cataract surgery using ultrasound waves to break up the cloudy lens, followed by IOL implantation.
  • Extracapsular Cataract Extraction (ECCE): Removal of the cloudy lens in one piece, followed by IOL implantation, typically for advanced cataracts.
• Post-Surgical Care: Monitoring for complications, managing discomfort, and ensuring proper healing after IOL placement.
