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.
