LASIK vs SMILAYLASIK, which vision correction is right for me?
Are you considering vision correction surgery? What you are most curious about Which is LASIK or SMILASIK This is the choice to make.
Today's differences between the two surgeries Let's take a closer look.
LASIK is a thin section on the surface of the cornea After making a flap, the corneal parenchyma is lasered It is a surgery that corrects vision through investigation.
It is a proven surgical method that has been implemented since the 1990s, The most implemented in the world This is vision correction surgery.
The biggest advantage of LASIK is from the day after surgery So much so that everyday life is possible The point is that eyesight recovers quickly.
Also, there is almost no pain during surgery, Not only myopia and astigmatism, but also farsightedness All of them can be calibrated.
Safety through long clinical experience It's proven. However, a section on the cornea Structural changes occur because they have to be made, the risk of damage to the flap due to trauma and Dry eyes are likely to occur.

Smilasik, on the other hand, leaves the surface of the cornea intact Leave it on and only irradiate the inside of the cornea with the laser It is the latest surgical method to correct eyesight.
It is a third-generation vision correction technique introduced in 2011, The incision site is one-tenth the level of conventional LASIK It's just that. What is the biggest advantage of Smilasic Surgery with a minimum incision of 2 to 4 mm The point is that it's possible.
Nerves on the surface of the cornea are preserved dry eye syndrome is minimized, Because the biomechanical stability of the cornea is excellent It maintains a structure resistant to trauma.
Even those with thin corneas can undergo surgery There are many cases. However, currently myopia Only astigmatism can be corrected; hyperopia can be corrected None, relatively compared to LASIK It requires high costs.

So which surgery is right for me? Farsightedness or rapid vision recovery Whichever you want, relatively economical LASIK for those who want surgery I recommend it.
Conversely, dry eye syndrome is severe or active People who exercise frequently have relatively poor corneas Thin people prefer minimally invasive surgery For those, I recommend Smilasic.
There is no way to say which surgery is better. Individual eye conditions, lifestyle patterns, occupations, etc. The choice must be considered comprehensively.
At Bright Eye Clinic, each person is individually examined through precise examinations We are proposing customized surgical methods. If you are considering vision correction surgery, To myself through accurate testing and consultation We hope you find the method that works best for you.
