Bright Eye Clinic 21 announced on the 15th that it received a certification plaque from Alcon, a global ophthalmic medical device company, for achieving 4,000 cases of vitrectomy surgery using the Constellation system.

Since 2013, the clinic has performed over 4,000 vitrectomy surgeries using Alcon's Constellation, proving itself as a leading ophthalmology hospital in the field of retinal diseases.

Alcon's Constellation is a vitrectomy surgical device approved by the U.S. FDA. This equipment shortens surgery time due to its fast cutting speed and maintains stable intraocular pressure during surgery.

Additionally, it allows simultaneous retinal and cataract surgery, reducing the risk of complications and leading to safe and successful surgical outcomes.

Chief Director Kim Deok-bae said, "Thanks to the trust and confidence placed in Bright Eye Clinic 21, we have achieved the valuable milestone of over 4,000 Constellation surgeries," and added, "We will continue to establish a more professional and systematic treatment system so that patients can enjoy high-quality medical services."

Meanwhile, Bright Eye Clinic 21 has solidified its position as a specialized ophthalmology hospital in the region by providing patient-tailored medical services through the detailed care of eight ophthalmology specialists. Since the implementation of the specialized hospital system in 2011, it has been designated as an ophthalmology specialized hospital by the Ministry of Health and Welfare for four consecutive times and has maintained certified medical institution status for three consecutive terms.
