Vision correction surgery (SMILE PRO, SMILE, LASIK, LASEK, PIOL) / Cataract surgery / Dream lenses

Procedures
[SMILE]
SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) is a surgical method that uses the VISUMAX 500 laser to penetrate the corneal surface and extract a lenticule through a micro-incision (approximately 2mm), correcting vision with minimal invasion.
[SMILE PRO]
SMILE PRO is an upgraded version of the SMILE procedure, utilizing the VISUMAX 800 laser. It significantly reduces laser treatment time to under 10 seconds and offers higher precision for faster and clearer vision recovery.
[LASIK]
LASIK involves creating a corneal flap (approximately 20mm in diameter) using a femtosecond laser, lifting it, and then reshaping the corneal stroma with a laser to correct vision.
[LASEK]
LASEK is a vision correction surgery that removes the corneal epithelium and reshapes the corneal stroma using a laser.
[Lens Implant Surgery]
Lens implant surgery involves inserting a corrective lens into the eye. This procedure is safe and suitable for patients with thin corneas, severe myopia, or astigmatism.
