Balgeun Eye Clinic 21 Achieves 5,000 Cases of PanOptix Cataract Surgery

Awarding of Alconsa Certification Plaque

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Bright Eye Clinic 21 Hospital (Chief Director Kim Deok-bae) has achieved '5,000 cases of cataract surgery using PanOptix.'

Bright Eye Clinic 21 announced on the 22nd that it received a certification plaque for achieving 5,000 cases from Alcon, a global ophthalmic medical device company, on the 21st.

Bright Eye Clinic 21 has been performing presbyopia and cataract surgeries using PanOptix since 2018.

Following the achievement of '3,000 cataract surgeries using PanOptix' in September last year, it performed 2,000 surgeries in about five months, demonstrating outstanding surgical skills.

Alcon's PanOptix is an intraocular lens developed by the American company Alcon and is a quadrifocal intraocular lens approved by the U.S. FDA.

This lens can simultaneously correct presbyopia and cataracts, providing continuous vision from 40 to 80 cm and high-quality vision at near, intermediate, and far distances.

PanOptix offers clear vision at all distances with a high light utilization rate of 88% and performs excellently under various lighting conditions.

Unlike the existing trifocal lenses, which were focused on the working distance of foreigners and required an adaptation period, PanOptix is optimized for 60 cm, known as the working distance for Koreans, allowing patients to naturally adapt to daily life after surgery.

Chief Director Kim Deok-bae said, "I am pleased to receive the certification plaque from the global company Alcon, and I want to express my gratitude to the patients who trusted and visited our hospital. We will continue to research and strive to provide safe and advanced medical technology as a representative ophthalmology hospital in Gwangju and Jeonnam."

Meanwhile, Bright Eye Clinic 21 Hospital has been designated as an ophthalmology specialty hospital by the Ministry of Health and Welfare for four consecutive cycles and has received certification as an accredited medical institution for three consecutive cycles, providing specialized technology and high-quality services and leading the field of ophthalmic medical care.
