Implantation de LIO à BGN Eye Hospital

• Vision Correction Center
• Cataract Center
• Ophthalmological examination (Check up)

BGN Eye Clinic has been operating since 2000. Today it has 3 medical centers in Seoul and Busan.

It is located 10 km from Gimhae International Airport and 6 km from Gwanalli Beach.

The clinic also accepts patients with severe cases: high degrees of myopia, and astigmatism, overripe cataracts.

Advantages of the medical center

• The most modern ophthalmological techniques and equipment. BGN doctors use only safe and gentle technologies for vision correction — Lasik, Lasek, SMILE, SMILE PRO. Laser equipment and artificial lenses — from the best manufacturers in Germany, Switzerland and Korea.
• An opportunity to combine treatment and relaxation. Busan — a major resort in South Korea, with six beaches within the city.
• Positive reviews. The BGN Clinic has collected 178 video reviews of patients who underwent treatment here on its website.

Awards and achievements of the medical center

Award from Carl ZEISS

Carl ZEISS (Carl Zeiss) — large German manufacturer of ophthalmic equipment. BGN Clinic received an award for the quality of laser operations using Carl ZEISS devices. 

Best Hospital for ICL Surgery (ICL)

BGN Clinic is recognized as the best in Korea for intraocular lens implantation, according to the lens manufacturer, the Swiss company STAAR.

Vision Correction Center

Laser vision correction is possible from age 18; before that, BGN doctors recommend treatment with orthokeratological lenses.

Slim Fit Lasik (Slim Fit Lasik)

Slim Fit — The safest, and most common type of Lasik procedure. Doctors make a precise incision up to 0.08 mm thick, push back the corneal layer and apply a laser to the lens.

Advantages of the method:

• perfect cut;
• no risk of cornea loss;
• after the procedure, dry eye syndrome did not appear.

Slim Fit Lasek (Slim Fit Lasek)

Slim Fit Lasek is recommended for patients with thinned corneas.

Lasek allows the doctor to lift the layer of the cornea using a laser without cutting it off completely, preserving the patient's own cornea.

Advantages of the method:

• it is possible to perform the procedure on patients with severely impaired vision and a thin cornea;
• minimal damage to the corneal layer;
• there are no risks of corneal clouding.

Laser for vision correction using Lasik, Lasek

Smile Lasik 

German ophthalmologists developed Smile technology for the treatment of myopia.

Doctors do not remove the upper corneal layer, as in previous methods, but make an incision of up to 2 mm. Through it, the inner layer of the eye is affected using a laser.

Advantages of the method:

• Compared to other methods, the incidence of side effects, such as dry eye syndrome and corneal opacity, is reduced by 10 times.
• The patient returns to everyday life 1 day after the procedure.
• Immediately after the operation, you can shower and swim in the sea.

The disadvantage of the technique is that it costs more than Lasik and Lasek.

SMILE PRO

SMILE PRO — the latest version of mini-invasive surgery ReLEx SMILE, an ideal solution for correcting myopia and astigmatism!

SMILE PRO uses the latest VISUMAX 800 femto laser equipment.

With the VISUMAX 800 laser, the operation time is reduced by 3 times, and the femto laser takes only 10 seconds!

Faster surgery, even less damage to the cornea, and even faster recovery!

VISUMAX 800 has the function of a robotic surgery support system, and makes the results of operations even more accurate, and patients' vision — even clearer and brighter!

Only SMILE PRO provides automatic pupil centering and fixation of the astigmatism axis!

Operation ICL (ICL)

The procedure is performed for patients with severe visual impairment, thin corneas and contraindications to laser correction.

ICL is performed through a micro-incision with a diameter of 0.36 mm. Doctors implant a collamer lens on top of the patient's lens. The collamer is not rejected by the body because it is similar in composition to the eye's tissues and can remain in the eye for life.

Advantages of the method:

• microsection of the eye without extensive damage to the cornea;
• lifelong result;
• the risk of side effects is minimal;
• discharge the next day after the procedure.

Collammer intraocular lens

Cataract Center

Cataract surgery is performed on patients up to 80-85 years of age. BGN doctors treat lens opacities with the most modern method. Phacoemulsification with Catalys laser—This is the implantation of an artificial lens during which the patient does not feel any discomfort.
Before the procedure, the doctor's assistants make a three-dimensional map of the patient's eye. This helps to accurately and quickly replace a clouded lens, considering the organ's individual characteristics.

Advantages of the method:

• no discomfort during surgery;
• gentle cataract removal using optimal ultrasound power;
• 3D surgery planning;
• high laser precision compared to manual cataract surgery.

Vision before and after cataract treatment

Ophthalmological examination

A comprehensive eye examination includes a consultation with a doctor and 12 types of examinations:

• visual examination by a doctor;
• corneal refraction — measurement of the refractive power of the eye;
• tonometry — determination of intraocular pressure;
• study of the fundus;
• OCT — optical coherence tomography;
• PEC — measurement of corneal endothelial cell density;
• dynamics of blinking;
• measuring the thickness of the tear film;
• analysis of the function of the sebaceous glands on the edges of the eyelids;
• 3D measurement of the anterior segment of the eye using the Pentacam device (Pentakam);
• topography of the cornea — determination of the curvature of the corneal layer;
• optical biometrics — measurement of several parameters of the eye, including the diameter of the pupil and cornea, and the depth of the anterior chamber of the eye.

The patient receives the diagnostic results on a CD.

Service for foreign patients

• 1 day of free hotel accommodation if the patient undergoes vision correction or cataract surgery;
• Transfer airport — clinic for a fee;
• Translator services at no additional cost;
• Free WiFi.
