Gwangju Shinsegae Eye Clinic Achieves 5,000 Cases of Honam's First 'Multifocal Intraocular Lens Surgery'

Correction of Distance, Intermediate, and Near Vision During Cataract Surgery

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangju Shinsegae Eye Clinic (Chief Director Kim Jaebong) has performed 5,000 cases of the multifocal intraocular lens Lisa tri, the first in the Honam region.

On the 11th, according to Gwangju Shinsegae Eye Clinic, the lens manufacturer Carl Zeiss from Germany plans to present Chief Director Kim Jaebong with a 'Lisa tri 5,000 Cases Commemoration' certificate.

The Lisa tri lens is a multifocal intraocular lens that replaces the cloudy natural lens during cataract surgery and can correct distance, intermediate, and near vision simultaneously.

It is a presbyopia surgery lens that solves both cataracts and presbyopia at the same time, released by the German optical company Carl Zeiss. It is evaluated as having dramatically improved intermediate vision, which was the most unsatisfactory aspect of single-focus and multifocal lenses.

Traditional cataract surgery involves removing the cloudy lens caused by aging and implanting a single-focus intraocular lens that corrects either distance or near vision.

However, presbyopia and cataract surgery using the Lisa tri lens provides triple focus, treating cataracts and freeing patients from glasses such as magnifiers.

In particular, this lens automatically adjusts the amount of light delivered to the retina, decomposing the amount of light for distance vision to enable clear triple focus.

Especially, it improves night-time glare and halo phenomena, enhancing the quality of night vision, allowing much clearer and sharper vision compared to existing surgeries.

Chief Director Kim Jaebong said, “The number of customers choosing presbyopia and cataract surgery to improve quality of life by removing magnifiers or glasses is rapidly increasing. Since lenses suitable for one’s lifestyle must be implanted, consulting with specialists who have extensive experience in various intraocular lens surgeries can significantly increase surgical satisfaction.”
