Presbyopia Correction
Description
Presbyopia correction is a medical procedure aimed at improving near vision that typically deteriorates due to the natural aging process. As people age, the eye's lens loses its elasticity, making it difficult to focus on close objects—a condition known as presbyopia. One of the common surgical options for correcting presbyopia is LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) with monovision. In this procedure, a specialized laser is used to reshape the cornea, the eye's outermost layer, to correct the refractive error. The surgeon creates a flap in the cornea, lifts it, and then uses the laser to remove precise amounts of corneal tissue, reshaping it to improve near vision in one eye while preserving distance vision in the other. This approach relies on the brain's ability to adapt to using one eye for near vision and the other for distance vision, thereby reducing the need for reading glasses. Another popular option for presbyopia correction is the implantation of multifocal or accommodative intraocular lenses (IOLs) during cataract surgery. Multifocal IOLs are designed with multiple zones that focus at different distances, allowing for improved near, intermediate, and distance vision. Accommodative IOLs, on the other hand, work by shifting position within the eye in response to muscle contractions, mimicking the natural accommodating process of the eye's lens. The procedure involves the removal of the eye's natural lens and the insertion of the artificial IOL in its place. This surgery not only addresses the loss of near vision due to presbyopia but also any existing cataracts, offering a dual benefit. Both LASIK with monovision and IOL implantation are effective methods to reduce dependency on corrective eyewear, allowing for a significant improvement in the quality of daily activities for individuals with presbyopia.

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.
