Ophthalmology
vision correction
LASEK (Laser Epithelial Keratomileusis) is a surgical treatment for myopia. During the operation, the epithelial layer of the cornea of the eye is removed, and then, using an excimer laser, the thickness of its central part is reduced: the necessary part of the anterior boundary membrane and stroma is removed to achieve a refractive effect.
After the operation, it takes time to restore the epithelial layer of the cornea. During this period, it is recommended to wear protective lenses that help reduce pain and speed up the regeneration process.
LASIK (laser keratomileusis) is a surgical treatment for myopia. During the operation, a corneal flap is created, consisting of the epithelial layer, the anterior limiting membrane and stroma. Then, with the help of an excimer laser, the thickness of the central part of the cornea is reduced: the necessary part of the stroma is removed to achieve a refractive effect. At the end of the operation, the corneal flap is returned to its original place.
Diagnostics
Analysis of the entire anterior segment of the eye, measurement of pupil size, measurement of curvature and thickness of the cornea, examination of the fundus and visual fields, measurement of eye pressure.
Cost of diagnosis and treatment: 2,300,000 won (LASEK)
2,700,000 won (LASIK)
Strabismus correction
Strabismus is an asymmetrical position of the eyes. Strabismus can be congenital or acquired. Reasons for the development of strabismus: anatomical (fracture of the orbit, congenital malformation of the orbit, deformity of the skull, strabismus caused by thyroid diseases, structural changes in the oculomotor muscle), neurological (myasthenia gravis, paralysis of III, IV, VI pairs of cranial nerves, retraction syndrome of the eyeball , internuclear ophthalmoplegia, etc.) and a genetic cause.
Diagnostics
Diagnostic research methods: measurement of visual acuity, refractometry, determination of the angle of strabismus, examination of the fundus, optic nerve, biomicroscopy of the eye with a slit lamp, etc.
Treatment
Surgical treatment (surgery to weaken, strengthen or transpose the oculomotor muscles) and non-surgical treatment (correction with glasses, drug therapy, the use of adhesives).
Cost of diagnosis and treatment: 4,000,000 - 4,500,000 won
Cataract
Cataract is a disease associated with clouding of the lens. Clouding of the lens can be caused by natural aging of the body, inflammation, trauma, etc.
Types of cataracts: anterior subcapsular cataract, nuclear sclerotic cataract, posterior subcapsular cataract.
Diagnostics
Diagnostic methods: eye biomicroscopy with a slit lamp, measurement of visual acuity, examination of the fundus, measurement of intraocular pressure.
Treatment
Surgical treatment (implantation of an intraocular lens).
Cost of diagnosis and treatment: 3,200,000 - 6,000,000 won
Macular degeneration
Macular degeneration is a degenerative disease of the central part of the retina, the macula, which causes decreased vision. There are two forms of macular degeneration: dry and wet. Look at almost every site.
Diagnostics
Diagnostic methods: examination of the fundus (retina), fluorescein angiography of the eye, optical coherence tomography, etc.
Treatment
There is no specific treatment for the dry form of macular degeneration. For the treatment of the wet form, intraocular injections, photodynamic therapy, panretinal laser coagulation of the retina, etc. are used.
Cost of diagnosis and treatment: 270,000 - 2,500,000 won
macular hole
Macular hole is the formation of a hole in the macula as a result of a retinal defect. A macular hole leads to a decrease in central vision.
Diagnostics
Diagnostic methods: examination of the fundus with mydriasis, optical coherence tomography, fluorescein angiography of the eye, etc.
Treatment
Surgical treatment (vitrectomy followed by injection of C3F8 or SF6 gas).
Cost of diagnosis and treatment: 7,500,000 - 8,500,000 won
Corneal transplant
A corneal transplant is an operation to replace a damaged cornea with a donor graft.
Indications for surgery: neuroparalytic keratitis, keratitis that develops with non-closure of the palpebral fissure, dry eye syndrome that is difficult to treat, pemphigoid, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, burns of the cornea and conjunctiva, etc.
Operation types
Penetrating keratoplasty, non-penetrating keratoplasty.
