Chung Young-taek, director of Onnuri Eye Hospital in Jeonju, and Kim Boo-ki, director of Onnuri Smile Mile Eye Hospital in Gangnam, succeeded in raw correction surgery using the latest laser refractive correction equipment, Smile Pro (Bizumax 800), and presented clinical results for the first time at the Spring Conference of the Korean Ophthalmology Association 2025.
Hypermetropia is a state in which the image of an object does not accurately touch the retina and is formed behind it, affecting vision. Myopia is a situation in which daily life is difficult without glasses because close proximity is visible, but far away is not visible, and primitive is difficult to see in both short and long distances. The eyeball length is too short, lens deformity, corneal deformity, etc. are the main causes of primitiveity, and family history also affects. The presence of primordial can lead to blurred vision, stable fatigue, far-sightedness, binocular vision impairment, amblyopia, strabismus, and, in severe cases, glaucoma.
Raw correction mainly consisted of glasses or contact lens treatment. In the case of correcting the original by laser refraction correction surgery, the center of the cornea is cut into a donut shape to make it as steep as a block lens. However, it is more difficult than myopia correction, which cuts the center of the cornea to make it flat. It is also a barren place for vision correction surgery for decades due to the increased amount of corneal amputations, increased sensitivity of surgical results due to deviations from the center, the early overcorrection tendency, and the possibility of returning to the primitive in the mid to long term.
Until recently, SMILE raw calibration was not possible in Korea, but raw calibration became possible through the introduction of VisuMax 800 lasers in Korea (2023) and software upgrades. Since its introduction in 2011, smile surgery has become the center of refraction correction surgery, with more than 10 million surgeries performed worldwide. Onnuri Eye Hospital has recovered a total of five primitive patients' eyesight so far since Jung Young-taek, the head of the hospital, succeeded in corrective surgery on a 25-year-old male primitive patient with Bijumax 800 Smile Pro laser equipment in January this year.
Gangnam Onnuri Smile Eye Clinic has recently successfully performed raw orthodontic surgery on seven people. In the case of a 30-year-old male patient who was presented at the conference, the left eye primitive 2.25 diopter and the right eye primitive 0.5 diopter before surgery, and the naked eye vision with slight astigmatism was 1.0 and 0.8 left and right, respectively. Although he had good eyesight, he complained of frequent eye fatigue, headaches, and discomfort because his left eye was out of focus when working at close range, and his symptoms were getting worse. After surgery, the patient's left eye vision improved to the extent that he lived without discomfort with 0.9 and 0.25 diopters.
Director Kim Boo-ki presented the surgical process and results at the 2025 Korean Ophthalmology Society conference held in BEXCO, Busan in early April.
Kim Boo-ki, director of Onnuri Smail Eye Clinic, said, "Laser primitive correction requires a wider range of corneal surgery compared to myopia correction, and even a slight distortion of the center of the surgery reduces the corneal correction effect, and is more difficult throughout the surgical process of separating and removing corneal correction fragments called lenticular.". "However, the primitive correction smile using Bijou800 equipment shows rapid vision recovery and good predictability, which can help the primitive patients who have suffered from discomfort." he said.
