Progressive Nearsightedness

Description

Progressive nearsightedness—also known as myopia, near-sightedness, short-sightedness, degenerative myopia, malignant myopia, or pathological myopia—occurs when distance vision blur keeps worsening, and regular glasses or contacts are no longer enough to provide clear sight. This condition means you might find yourself needing stronger and thicker lenses every year, but still struggling with blurry vision for far-away objects. Left unchecked, progressive nearsightedness (or high myopia) can increase your risk for serious eye health complications, including retinal detachment and vision loss. If you’re frustrated by worsening vision that seems “unresponsive to glasses alone,” discovering advanced vision correction solutions like ICL lens implants in Korea can offer renewed hope for clear, lasting sight and improved quality of life.

Healing Ophthalmology Clinic in Sinnonhyeon Station offers a range of state-of-the-art procedures to correct and enhance vision. Vision Correction Procedures LASIK Surgery: A popular refractive surgery to correct vision by reshaping the cornea using a laser. This procedure helps treat nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. LASEK Surgery: Similar to LASIK, this procedure also reshapes the cornea to correct vision. LASEK is preferred for patients with thin corneas as it involves creating a thinner flap. SMILE Surgery: A minimally invasive procedure that uses a laser to create a disc-shaped piece of tissue within the cornea, which is then removed through a small incision. This procedure is for correcting myopia and mild astigmatism. Lens Implant Procedures ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens): This procedure involves implanting a Collamer lens inside the eye for those who are not suitable candidates for LASIK. It’s used to correct moderate to severe nearsightedness. Multifocal Lens Implants: Designed to correct presbyopia and provide a full range of vision from near to far distances. This procedure can reduce or eliminate the need for reading glasses or bifocals post-surgery. Cataract Surgery Premium Cataract Surgery: Uses advanced technology such as ZEISS SUITE & Z8 laser for ultra-precision surgery to remove the cloudy lens and replace it with a clear artificial lens. This procedure restores clear vision and can also correct other vision issues like astigmatism. Other Specialized Procedures Corneal Transplant: A surgical procedure to replace a damaged or diseased cornea with a healthy one from a donor. This is used to restore vision in patients with corneal disorders or injuries. With highly experienced medical professionals and the latest university hospital-level equipment, the Healing Ophthalmology Clinic ensures the best possible care and results.
