LASIK

LASIK" is the most widely performed refractive surgery in the world, using a laser to remove a portion of the cornea to correct myopia and astigmatism. We have already performed more than 6,000 surgeries.

Orthokeratology (Ortho K)

This is a non-surgical myopia treatment method that allows patients to wear special contact lenses while they sleep, allowing them to use their naked eyes during the day. It is also expected to inhibit the progression of myopia.

Phakic IOLs (ICL(EVO)/IPCL)

Intraocular contact lens therapy is a treatment in which a lens is placed inside the eye to correct vision. It is sometimes referred to as ICL treatment, short for Implantable Contact Lens, or as phakic IOL (Intraocular Lens) treatment.

Cataract Surgery

A cataract is a condition in which the lens in the eye becomes cloudy, making it difficult for light to reach the retina and making it difficult to see. It can be said that 90% of cataracts are caused by "aging," and that almost all people are affected by aging. Cataracts are painless, but symptoms such as blurred vision, dark vision, blurred vision, loss of vision, double- or triple vision, and glare from light can occur. These symptoms can be almost completely cured with appropriate treatment.

Vitreous/Retina

In recent years, the number of people who develop "age-related macular degeneration" has been increasing. Please come to our clinic if you have symptoms such as difficulty seeing the center of the visual field, objects appearing distorted, or vision loss.

What is the retina?

When we see, light passes through the cornea and enters the eye through the pupil. After being refracted by the lens, it passes through the vitreous and reaches the retina. At this point, the light stimulus perceived by the retina is transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve, where it is recognized as "visible. In other words, the retina plays a role similar to that of a film in a camera.

About the Vitreous Body that Protects the Eye

The vitreous body occupies a large portion of the inside of the eye and is made of a transparent gel. Its composition is 99% water. The main roles of the vitreous body are to maintain the shape of the eye and to protect the eye by absorbing external pressure and stimulation through its elasticity. It is also thought to replace blood vessels in supplying oxygen and nutrients and transporting waste products. When diseases occur in the retina or vitreous body, vision may be impaired, and in some cases, it may significantly inconvenience people's lives or even cause blindness. Early detection and treatment are sufficient to improve the condition, so we recommend that you see a doctor first if you notice any abnormality in your vision.

Pseudomyopia

Myopia in children can be true myopia or pseudomyopia. Pseudomyopia is a condition in which the child's ability to regulate his or her vision is temporarily paralyzed due to poor control. We recommend that you first investigate whether your child has true myopia or pseudomyopia, rather than immediately getting glasses just because he/she has difficulty seeing the letters on the blackboard at school.
