Certification from Alconsa

Bright Eye Clinic 21 Hospital (Chief Director Kim Deok-bae) announced on the 4th that it received a certification plaque from Alcon, a global ophthalmic medical device company, for achieving 4,000 cases of WaveLight EX500 One-Step LASEK StreamLight procedures.

As of 2022, it was selected as one of the five hospitals nationwide that performed 4,000 StreamLight (One-Step LASEK) procedures using Alcon's WaveLight EX500.

In particular, it was the only hospital south of the Seoul metropolitan area to receive this award, firmly establishing itself as a leading ophthalmology hospital in the field of vision correction.

Alcon's StreamLight is a one-step LASEK surgery method that removes the corneal epithelium and simultaneously ablates the corneal stroma using only a laser. Since the entire process is performed with a laser, the surgery is precise and safe. Compared to conventional LASEK, the surgery time is shorter, pain is less, and recovery is faster, reducing the burden of surgery.

Chief Director Kim Deok-bae said, “Thanks to the patients who trusted and visited Bright Eye Clinic 21 Hospital, we achieved an excellent result of over 4,000 StreamLight cases in a short period, gaining recognition for our outstanding technical skills and surgical know-how. We will continue to strive to provide high-quality medical services to our patients.”
