LASEK

2Day LASEK

A safe vision correction procedure for those with extremely high myopia or thin corneas who are not candidates for LASIK or SMILE, as well as for those who need rapid recovery due to limited time. It involves very little pain and maximizes the advantages of conventional LASEK.

CHECK POINTS of 2Day LASEK

✓ From 2 days after surgery, pain is relieved

✓ Compared with conventional LASEK, pain is significantly reduced

✓ The surgical wound area is reduced by approximately 40% for faster recovery

✓ Less glare and a lower likelihood of regression

✓ Using the AMARIS RED system for greater safety with less corneal tissue removal than conventional LASEK

2Day LASEK Procedure

2Day LASEK uses an all-laser approach rather than a brush to reduce corneal damage and minimize pain, while providing a LASEK procedure that is more resistant to external impact after surgery.

❶ Remove the corneal epithelium after laser treatment

❷ Perform vision correction on the corneal stroma with a laser

❸ Complete the procedure after applying a protective special contact lens

Benefits of 2Day LASEK at a Glance

❶ Differences in Quality of Vision and Pain

Conventional LASEK

Pain lasts longer due to nerve damage, and the larger area of corneal epithelium removal results in lower safety

2Day LASEK

With less nerve damage, pain is reduced, and the corneal ablation area is reduced by approximately 40%, improving safety and quality of vision

❷ All-Laser Surgery and Reduced Side Effects

AMARIS RED + SPT

2Day LASEK is an all-laser procedure using AMARIS RED, an advanced LASEK surgical system, making it safer and more effective than conventional LASEK. Because 2Day LASEK does not create a corneal flap, it is safe even against external impact.

Corneal wrinkles

Corneal tear

Corneal bubbles

Outstanding Benefits of AMARIS RED

1,050 Hz laser delivery speed

Reduces the time the cornea is exposed to the laser, thereby reducing various side effects such as thermal damage, dry eye, and corneal haze.

7D Eye Tracking

Accurately predicts involuntary eye movements that are difficult to manage with conventional lasers, reducing laser treatment time.

Featuring breakthrough SmartPulse technology

A breakthrough technology that creates a smooth ablation surface tailored to the shape of the cornea, enabling faster recovery while reducing glare and pain to improve quality of vision.

❸ Faster Recovery for a Faster Return to Daily Life

Even for people with limited time, recovery is sufficiently fast. Those who have been unable to undergo vision correction due to work or other time constraints can proceed quickly over the weekend.

❶ Surgery after examination; surgery takes only 10 minutes

❷ Pain relief begins 2 days after surgery

❸ Follow-up visit after 4 days

❹ Suitable for a wide range of people

Extremely high myopia: OK

Thin corneas: OK

For those who enjoy outdoor activities and sports: OK

Concern about nighttime vision reduction side effects: NO

2Day LASEK with the advanced AMARIS RED system is especially recommended for these individuals!

Those with thin corneas

Those with small eyes

Those who frequently enjoy outdoor activities and sports

Those concerned about side effects of reduced nighttime vision

AMARIS RED

The world's first 3D laser for greater precision and safety

Improve vision without worry, even with thin corneas or an active lifestyle!

Q. What is the difference between LASIK and LASEK?

A. Basically, both improve vision by correcting the corneal stroma using an excimer laser. The difference is that LASIK creates a corneal flap, while LASEK removes the corneal epithelium before surgery.

Q. What is the difference between conventional LASEK and 2Day LASEK?

A. Conventional LASEK uses alcohol to loosen the corneal epithelium, removes the epithelium with a brush, and corrects the corneal stroma. In contrast, 2Day LASEK performs the entire procedure with a laser. It removes the corneal epithelium with a laser and corrects the corneal stroma. Therefore, it is more precise, reduces pain, and enables faster recovery.

Q. Can 2Day LASEK also be performed on the same day?

A. Same-day surgery is possible if your eye condition is suitable. After the examination, you will receive a consultation, and the surgery will proceed after your medical evaluation; there may be waiting times in between.

Q. When can I resume daily activities after 2Day LASEK surgery?

A. Unlike SMILE LASIK and LASIK, 2Day LASEK involves removing the corneal epithelium, so time is needed for the epithelium to heal. Recovery therefore takes at least 2 days.
