Carl Zeiss - Gangnam Joeunnun Eye Clinic
SMILE Surgery Joint Research Center
ZEISS, the developer of SMILE LASIK,
cooperatively operates SMILE surgery research institutions with branch hospitals
and shares its advanced know-how with the world.
To develop equipment for better clinical outcomes, ZEISS
is conducting joint research with leading hospitals worldwide.
In Korea, it operates a joint research institution with Gangnam Joeunnun Eye Clinic for SMILE surgery.
This shares surgical expertise through Joeunnun’s proven surgical management system.
AcuTarget
makes SMILE Pro a more precise procedure.
By linking the actual visual axis (Purkinje center) measured through AcuTarget, rather than the virtual visual axis (pupil center, corneal center), to SMILE Pro, you can achieve precise correction results.
00
When the visual axis, pupil center, and corneal center align
When the visual axis, pupil center, and corneal center differ
Decentration in vision correction can cause errors,
With decentration-free vision correction, good results can be achieved.
which lowers visual quality.
AcuTarget Solution combined with precise visual-axis analysis
AcuTarget
Vision correction with different results through precise positional measurement
Corneal center No! Pupil center No!

AcuTarget is a visual-axis analysis device, and at Joeunnun Eye Clinic, SMILE surgery is performed based on precise visual-axis analysis using AcuTarget, allowing for higher-quality vision.

SMILE corneal strengthening using the Avedro KXL system and VibeX riboflavin solution induces collagen cross-linking in the cornea to increase corneal strength.
For satisfactory surgical results
Personalized Energy
Use the right energy tailored to each individual's corneal tissue characteristics!
If the laser energy is excessively high, there is a risk of damage to surrounding tissues.
Conversely, if the energy is too low, incomplete corneal incision may lead to more severe surrounding tissue damage during flap separation.
Therefore, tailored to the characteristics of each individual's corneal tissue
"When the right energy is used, the separated corneal surface is at its most "
What is the visual axis (Visual axis)?
When fixating on an object, the line connecting the object and the center of the retina (fovea) is called the visual axis.
The point where the visual axis passes through the corneal surface is called the Purkinje center, and centering on this point
the procedure must be performed to achieve a precise correction effect.
Combined with visual-axis analysis
AcuTarget SMILE LASIK
90?
12
SMILE surgery separates the cornea with a femtosecond laser.
If the laser energy is too low and corneal separation is incomplete, it can cause damage to the surrounding cornea.
It is smooth, and at this time stable surgical results can be obtained.
Precise correction effect based on the Purkinje center (actual visual axis)
In the past, SMILE surgery was performed based on the corneal center or pupil center, but this does not reflect the actual visual axis and is a cause of reduced visual quality.
AcuTarget is a visual-axis analysis device, and at Joeunnun Eye Clinic, SMILE surgery is performed based on precise visual-axis analysis using AcuTarget, allowing you to achieve higher-quality vision.
Reduce damage to the corneal nerves and lower post-surgery side effects Down!
Prevention of Corneal Nerve Damage
LASIK and LASEK involve cutting the upper corneal layer, which can damage the nerve layer and cause changes in corneal sensation and dry eye.
SMILE surgery causes less damage to the corneal nerves, so there is almost no change in corneal sensation.

Next-generation vision correction using the Avedro KXL system
Corneal strengthening
Keep the cornea strong even after surgery with collagen cross-linking!
Immediately after SMILE surgery, a riboflavin (vitamin B2) solution is applied to the area where the lenticule was removed.
The riboflavin solution is absorbed into the corneal tissue.
Ultraviolet (UVA) is applied to the cornea for about 90 seconds.
As collagen cross-linking increases, the cornea becomes denser and its strength is restored.
