    What is the difference between LASIK and LASEK?

    LASIK procedure doesn’t take up a lot of time.

    Depending on the person, some people will get over the discomfort within 3 to 4 hours. Patients will have to use eye drops that they prescribe for about30 days. The aftermath varies from person to person but there is not a bigdifference.The day after the procedure about 90% of your vision has been cured.So, you can go back to your daily activities the following day. Also, patientshave less post check-ups than LASEK. It has little to no influence from sunlight.

    LASIK is more expensive than LASEK due to the extra equipment that are used. LASIK procedure would be ideal for busy workers who would have go back to their daily life immediately, people who drive every day, or patients who willhave difficulty coming in for post check-ups.

    LASEK and LASIK procedures are about thesame time.

    But, patients of LASEK may feel more discomfort afterwards than the LASIK procedure. This discomfort feeling may last 2 to 3 days and patients will have to use eye drops for 3 to 6 months. The use of eye drops varies from person to person. Some patients may only need the eye drops for 3 months whereas others may need it for 6 months. The negative part to this is patients have to be out of sunlight for about 3 months. Patients must be extra careful with exposure to sunlight. This all varies from patient to patient. After the procedures, the amount of pressure that is put into your eyes will be relieved immensely.

    Since there is a difference from patient to patient, it would be best to decide which procedure after going through multiple exams and consulting with a doctor.

    This would lead to your next question,
    why Metro Eye Clinic instead of other places?

    Aren’t they all the same? Actually, this is not true. Metro Eye Clinic has done the most vision correction procedures in all of Daegu and
    Gyeongbuk region. To add onto their credibility, they have not any medical accidents that have occurred within the last ten years.

    Metro Eye Clinic also uses the most state of the art equipment in comparison to other clinics. Different equipment is used to fully
    check patients’ eyes. These equipment will examine the patients eye condition to give the best analysis before the LASIK or LASEK
    procedure. Since everyone’s eyes are very different, these equipment can cater to virtually everything for the doctor to have a better
    outlook and procedure that is customized for each patient. All of this equipment is from credible manufacturers internationally.

    With this state of the art equipment, the price is actually a lot lower compared to other places around the region. The doctors have a lot of experience with these procedures, there are a lot of equipment to examine patients to the fullest extent, and over 100 doctors also received this procedure from the doctors at Metro Eye Clinic.

    To give assurance to the patients, all of the doctors at Metro Eye Clinic received vision correction procedures from Metro Eye
    Clinic. If it wasn’t safe, would these doctors have received this operation?

    Since all of the doctors at Metro Eye Clinic have experience as a patient receiving the treatment, they are able to explain it better from
    the patient’s point of view. Whatever uncertainty you may have felt, these doctors will be there to answer them and assure you that you
    are under the right hands.

    • OQAS

      The system is based on the double-pass technique which provides an objective measurement of the optical quality of the eye. A point light source is imaged on the retina where the size and the shape of the spot is then analysed by the system providing invaluable data which quantifies optical quality and scatter in a wide range of clinical situations.

      OQAS HD Analyser images contain all the information about the optical quality of the eye including all the higher order aberrations and scattered
      light, being both generally missed by most aberrometric techniques. It is the only system which objectively measures true visual quality and scatter in the eye today.

    • ORB scan

      This optical mapping or corneal topography system mapping system is a diagnostic tool that shows the overall architecture of the cornea including surface power, thickness, front and back shape. Using an illuminated ring pattern and a beam of light that is shined across the cornea, the image
      sensors in the Orbscan IIz acquire over 9000 points of data in less than 2 seconds.

      That data is transformed into a wealth of information about the architecture of the cornea. The Orbscan IIz is unique among corneal topographers
      in its ability to image the posterior surface of the cornea. Early signs of certain corneal diseases or abnormalities are seen first on the posterior
      corneal surface.

    • Pentacam/Oculus

      The Pentacam® is a rotating Scheimpflug camera system for anterior segment analysis. It measures topography and elevation of the anterior and
      posterior corneal surface and the corneal thickness. The degree of corneal or crystalline lens density is made visible by the light scattering properties of the respective media and is automatically quantified by the software. Measurement of the anterior and posterior corneal surfaces supplies the
      true total refractive power of the cornea. The data on the posterior surface support in Keratometry for toric IOL calculation and orientation as well
      as in the detection of early ectatic changes.

    • Stratus OCT

      Increase practice productivity. Operate the full analysis capabilities from the lane, your office or a remote location

    • RTA

      The Marco RTA-5, retinal laser scan, is one of the newest and most advanced pieces of equipment that has been recently released for your vision
      needs. This scan can detect the early signs of degeneration of the optic nerve due to glaucoma and diabetes.
      The retinal scan produces photographic images of your eye, which serve as a map of the eye, to recommend the most effective treatment.
      A harmless laser scans the retina resulting in an image of the surface similar to a photograph and will also measure the thickness of the retina at
      the macula to aid in the early detection of macular changes, including macular degeneration, and around the optic disc which can give early
      indi cations of glaucoma. The diameters of the veins and arteries can also be analysed to check for signs of raised blood pressure.

    • IOLMaster500

      The IOLMaster was the first automatic biometry system available which did not make contact with the patient’s eye.
      With 100 million power calculations performed worldwide, the IOLMaster is the Gold Standard in cataract biometry with precision that satisfies the demands of clinicians looking for optimal refractive outcomes.

      In denser cataracts the ZEISS IOLMaster 500 achieves a measurement success ratio that is up to 20% higher than that of other optical biometry
      devices.3 Even with staphyloma, pseudophakic and silicone-filled eyes the ZEISS IOLMaster 500 measures along the visual axis, yielding the relevant axial distance. And with its Haigis-L formula on board the ZEISS IOLMaster 500 is dedicated to myopic and hyperopic post-LVC cases.

    • Humphry720i

      Advanced diagnosis and analysis with comprehensive connectivity options Validated by more than 25 years of research, design and clinical experience, the Humphrey® Field Analyzer (HFA™) is the accepted standard of care in glaucoma diagnosis and management. With over 65,000 installed
      units worldwide, the HFA is the premier automated visual field analyzer.It is standard that reflects our shared commitment to the enhancement and preservation of vision.
      A standard that expands the potential of perimetry with new technologies that offer unique insights to support you in glaucoma clinical detection, diagnosis, treatment and ongoing management.

    • NT-530P

      This unique model combines Non Contact Tonometry and Pachymetry in one unit, which in turn provides the automatic calculation function of the compensated IOP based on the central corneal thickness.Taking advantage of the principal of Schiempflug camera, the NT-530P provides non
      contact measurement of the patients central corneal thickness. With its smart 3D auto tracking and auto shot, it allows safe, easy and accurate
      measurement on the pachymeter.

      The NIDEK innovative technology enhances APC (Automatic Puff Control) to the next stage. It reduces noise and air intensity and achieves a softer and quieter air puff than ever, allowing more patient comfort. Based on many years of developing examination equipment, Nidek incorporates the unique auto complete non contact tonometer measurement by automatically detecting the most appropriate value and completing the
      measurement.

    • TRC-NW300

      Integrated digital CCD camera provides 8 megapixel images of superior quality Excellent detail of the retinal surface for all types of diagnostic
      requirements, from disc evaluation for glaucoma to diabetic retinopathy without the need for dilating drops Seamless interface to IMAGEnet™ Lite, for advanced image documentation, archiving, retrieval, enhancing and printing of retinal images

      Patient consultation module facilitates patient education and compliance Auto focus, auto exposure and auto shoot for added operator convenience and quick screenings Small pupil capability (3.3mm) and low flash intensity aids in difficult cases All-in-one design enhances portability of system

    • FDT

      Frequency Doubling Technology (FDT)is a new "peripheral vision" test which specifically tests one type of nerve cell which is most prone to damage from conditions such as glaucoma.  This gives us an ability to check for subtle vision loss years before it could be found by standard peripheral vision tests.  FDT testing takes less than a minute and is very easy to do. 

      takes less than a minute and is very easy to do. automated perimetry (SWAP) offer unique opportunities toward the goal of earlier detection and
      diagnosis. Both of these technologies are still in their infancy and continue to evolve.

    • Scout

      Corneal topography is a non-invasive medical imaging technique for mapping the surface curvature of the cornea, the outer structure of the eye.
      Since the cornea is responsible for about 70% of the eye's refractive power, its topography is of critical importance in determining the quality of
      vision. Our Scout Topographer takes 14,000 data point maps of the cornea which can be used to diagnose a number of conditions, plan refractive surgery such as LASIK, and custom design specialty contact lenses including our Wave Corneal Molds.

    • Phoropter

      A phoropter is an instrument comprised of cylinders, prisms, and lenses that measures the eye’s refractive error to help determine and eye
      prescription. Phoroptors can also be used to measure the eye’s natural resting position, near-distance focal ability, binocular vision and eye
      movements. Refraction errors can also be identified using a refractor, which uses convex lenses to examine how the eye processes light.

    • A-scan

      Any ultrasonic instrument typically records two fundamental parameters of an echo: how large it is (amplitude), and where it occurs in time with
      respect to a zero point (pulse transit time). Transit time in turn is usually correlated to reflector depth or distance, based on the sound velocity of
      the test material and the simple relationship.

      The most basic presentation of ultrasonic waveform data is in the form of an A-scan, or waveform display, in which echo amplitude and transit
      time are plotted on a simple grid with the vertical axis representing amplitude and the horizontal axis representing time.
      The example below shows a version with a rectified waveform; unrectified RF displays are also used. The red bar on the screen is a gate that
      selects a portion of the wave train for analysis, typically measurement of echo amplitude and/or depth.

    • Argon laser

      For the treatment of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).The laser beam opens the fluid channels of the eye, helping the drainage system work better. In many cases, medication will still be needed. Usually, half the fluid channels are treated first. If necessary, the other fluid channels can be
      treated in a separate session another time.

      This method prevents over-correction and lowers the risk of increased pressure following surgery. Argon laser trabeculoplasty has successfully
      lowered eye pressure in up to 75% of patients treated.

    • YAG laser

      Its real name is "Neodymium-Yttrium Aluminum-Garnet laser". The YAG laser can cut the opaque membranes by creating a series of tiny explosions in a line or cross pattern. This procedure is called posterior capsulotomy.

      Thus, if you experience impaired vision after cataract surgery, the YAG laser may promptly restore your vision without a risk of bleeding or infection inside the eye.The YAG laser is used only to treat "after cataracts” but not to remove the cataracts.

    • SPECULAR Microscopy

      Specular microscopy can provide a non-invasive morphological analysis of the corneal endothelial cell layer from subjects enrolled in clinical trials.
      The analysis provides a measure of the endothelial cell physiological reserve from aging, ocular surgical procedures, pharmaceutical exposure, and general health of the corneal endothelium. The purpose of this review is to discuss normal and stressed endothelial cell morphology,
      the techniques for determining the morphology parameters, and clinical trial applications.
