  • Pain relieved
    from two days after surgery

  • Significantly reduced pain
    compared to general LASEK

  • Fast recovery with surgical wound reduced by 40%

  • Less glaring and
    less chance of regression

  • Safer with corneal ablation amount less than general LASEK using AMARIS RED

Procedure of 2-Day LASEK surgery

2-Day LASEK uses an all-laser procedure, not a brush, to reduce corneal damage for less pain, and it is strong against external impact even after surgery.

  • STEP.01

    Remove the corneal epithelium after irradiating with a laser.

  • STEP.02

    Correct vision in the corneal parenchyma with a laser.

  • STEP.03

    Finish surgery after covering the special lens for protection.

Advantages of 2-Day LASEK at-a-glance

  1. Quality of vision and difference in pain01

    • General LASEK

      The stability is low as pain caused by nerve damage lasts long and the area of removed corneal epithelium is large.

    • 2-Day LASEK

      The stability and the quality of vision are improved as less nerve damage causes less pain and the corneal ablation amount is reduced by about 40%.

  2. All-laser surgery and side effect reduction02

    AMARIS RED AMARIS RED + SPT

    2-Day LASEK is safer and more effective than general LASEK as it is an all-laser surgery using AMARIS RED, the state-of-the-art LASEK equipment.

    2-Day LASEK is safe from external impact as it does not create a corneal flap.

    • Corneal folds

    • Corneal laceration

    • Corneal air bubble

    Excellence of AMARIS RED

    • 1050 Hz Laser irradiation speed

      It reduces various side effects, including heat damage, dry eye, and corneal opacity, by reducing the time the cornea is irradiated with a laser.

    • 7D Eye tracking

      It reduces the duration of laser irradiation by accurately predicting involuntary eye movements, which were difficult with conventional lasers.

    • 1050 Hz Laser irradiation speed 7D Eye tracking Equipped with breakthrough technology of Smart Pulse

      It is a breakthrough technology that has improved the quality of visual acuity with faster recovery and reduced glare and pain by creating a smooth cut surface customized to the corneal shape.

  3. Fast return to daily life with fast recovery03

    Fast recovery even for those who do not have enough free time

    Those who do not have enough free time to receive vision correction surgery due to work or other reasons can receive the surgery quickly on weekends.

    • STEP.01

      Surgery is done after examinations. It requires 10 minutes to finish the surgery.
