BGN Eye Clinic awards and achievements

Carl Zeiss Award

Carl Zeiss is a significant German producer of ophthalmologic equipment. The Clinic received the Award for quality of laser operations performing with Carl Zeiss equipment.

 

Best clinic for ICL surgery 

BGN Eye Clinic is recognized as the best one in Korea for implantable contact lens surgery according to the version of Swiss STAAR company, a lenses producer.

Vision Correction Center

Vision correction is prescribed for patients over 18. Before this age, doctors recommend treatment using orthokeratological contact lenses.

Slim Fit LASIK

Slim Fit LASIK is the safest and the most widely spread kind of LASIK procedure. Doctors make the accurate incision up to 0.08 mm, carefully put off a corneal layer and affect the lens with a laser.

Advantages of the method:

  • perfect incision
  • an absence of cornea loss risk
  • no sicca syndrome.

Slim Fit LASEK

Slim Fit LASEK is recommended for patients with the thin cornea.

LASEK allows a doctor to pick up the corneal layer using a laser. It preserves own patient’s cornea.

Advantages of the method:

  • possibility to perform the procedure for patients with significant sight deterioration
  • minimal damage of the corneal layer
  • risk of corneal clouding is minimal.

 

Laser for vision correction using LASEK and LASIK

 

Smile LASIK

Smile technique was developed by German ophthalmologists to treat myopia and keratoconus.

Doctors don’t put off the top layer of the cornea as during the above-mentioned operations. Specialists make the incision up to 2 mm. Then they affect the internal eye layer with a laser.

Advantages of the method:

  • A possibility of such side effects as sicca syndrome and corneal opacity, is increased by 10 times compared to other methods.
  • A patient returns to healthy life in 1 day after the procedure.
  • Just after the operation, you can have a shower and swim in the sea.

The disadvantage of the method is the higher price in comparison with LASIK and LASEK.

 

 

ICL (implantable contact lens surgery)

The procedure is prescribed for patients with severe visual disorders, thin cornea or contraindications to laser correction.

ICL is carried out through micro incision 0.36 mm in diameter. Doctors implant collamer lens on the top of its own one. The collamer is not rejected by the body due to its similarity with eye tissues. It can be left in the eye for a term of a patient’s life.

Advantages of the method:

  • a micro-incision in the eye, without extensive damage of the cornea
  • lifetime result
  • risk of side effects is minimal
  • dismissal the next day after operation.
 

Collameral intraocular lens

Cataract Center

An operation for cataract removal is performed for patients aged up to 80-85 years. BGN doctors treat lens opacity with the most innovative therapeutic method. It is called phacoemulsification with Catalys laser. It is the implantation of the artificial lens during which a patient does not feel any discomfort.

Before the procedure, doctors’ assistants make a 3-dimensional map of patient’s eye. It allows rapidly and accurately to change the cornea opalesce taking into account the individual features of the organ.

Advantages of the method:

  • no discomfort during the operation
  • gentle cataract removal using the optimal ultrasonic power
  • 3D-planning of operation
  • high accuracy of the laser impact.
 

Vision before and after cataract treatment

Ophthalmological examination

The complete eye examination includes consultation with a doctor and 12 types of diagnostic procedures:

  • visual examination by a doctor
  • cornea refracture
  • tonometry
  • observation of the eyeground
  • optical coherence tomography (OCT)
  • the density of corneal endothelial cells measurement
  • blinking dynamics
  • tear layer thickness measurement
  • analysis of Zeiss glands functions
  • 3D-dimensional measurement of the front eye area on Pentacam device
  • corneal topography test — detection of the corneal curvature
  • retina examination
  • optical biometry is a measurement of several eye parameters including size of pupil and cornea, depth of the anterior eye.

A patient receives the results of diagnostics on CD.

Rude staff. And the trip turned out to be in vain. So much time, effort and money was spent. Documents were preliminarily sent, and extracts available at that time, treatment passed, etc. They invited me to the examination and obtain a preliminary treatment plan, although it was clear to the provided procurers that treatment was impossible. They did the same thing that they had sent earlier, shrugged their hands and said Excuse me, we can’t help ...
