Today LASEK
Perfected by Precision.
Today’s LASEK combines decades of clinical expertise with advanced laser technology to deliver safer, more predictable vision correction. Precision diagnostics, customized treatment planning, and meticulous postoperative care ensure stable results and long-term visual clarity.
Today LASEK vs. Conventional LASEK
While conventional LASEK follows a standardized approach, Today LASEK reflects the evolution of the procedure through advanced diagnostics, refined laser algorithms, and surgeon-guided customization. Today LASEK focuses on precision, corneal safety, and visual stability—especially for patients with thinner corneas or higher refractive errors—delivering more predictable and patient-specific outcomes.
Today LASEK uses advanced diagnostics, customized laser profiles, and real-time eye tracking to reshape the cornea more precisely, while conventional LASEK follows a standardized approach. This results in greater accuracy, safety, and visual stability.
Yes. Today LASEK minimizes corneal stress through precise tissue preservation and enhanced surgical control, making it especially suitable for patients with thinner corneas or higher refractive errors.
Recovery is generally faster and more comfortable with Today LASEK due to the gentle epithelial handling and improved laser accuracy. Patients often experience clearer vision sooner and fewer post-operative fluctuations.
Patients with thin corneas, mild dry eye, or those who are not ideal candidates for flap-based LASIK benefit most. A comprehensive preoperative evaluation determines suitability for each individual.
Yes. Today LASEK’s customized approach and precise corneal reshaping contribute to long-term visual stability and predictable outcomes, reducing the risk of regression compared to conventional methods.
What Is the Today LASEK System?
The Today LASEK System integrates high-resolution corneal imaging, wavefront-based analysis, and real-time eye-tracking technology to design a customized treatment plan for each eye. By combining experienced surgical judgment with advanced laser control, the system enhances accuracy while minimizing unnecessary corneal stress.
The Today LASEK System integrates advanced corneal imaging, wavefront analysis, and real-time eye-tracking to create a fully customized treatment for each patient, improving precision, safety, and visual outcomes.
Before surgery, the system measures your corneal shape, thickness, and optical imperfections. Using these data, it calculates a laser plan tailored to your unique eyes, ensuring accurate and predictable results.
Most patients who need surface-based vision correction can benefit, especially those with thin corneas, irregular corneal surfaces, or conditions that make flap-based procedures less ideal. A thorough evaluation determines suitability.
Yes. Because the procedure precisely preserves healthy corneal tissue and minimizes stress, patients often experience faster healing, reduced discomfort, and more stable vision compared to conventional LASEK.
The system’s real-time eye-tracking technology monitors even tiny eye movements, allowing the laser to adjust instantly. Combined with advanced corneal imaging and experienced surgeons, this ensures maximum safety and accuracy.
Recovery and Post-Procedure Care
Vision gradually improves over several days as the corneal surface heals. Patients may experience temporary discomfort or light sensitivity during early recovery. With Today LASEK, recovery protocols are carefully managed through medication, scheduled follow-ups, and individualized care plans to promote comfort and long-term visual clarity.
Most patients experience gradual vision improvement within 3–5 days, with clearer and more stable vision developing over 1–2 weeks. Full recovery and visual stability may take up to a month, depending on individual healing.
Temporary discomfort such as mild irritation, light sensitivity, or tearing is normal. A protective contact lens is worn for a few days to support healing, and prescribed eye drops help reduce inflammation and prevent infection.
Yes. Avoid rubbing your eyes, swimming, hot tubs, strenuous exercise, or heavy screen use during the initial recovery period. Protective eyewear is recommended in bright or dusty environments until your doctor confirms full healing.
Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully. Typically, you will use antibiotic and anti-inflammatory drops several times a day to prevent infection, control inflammation, and support healing. Missing doses may slow recovery or increase complication risk.
Light daily activities are usually possible within a few days, but contact sports, swimming, or intense exercise should be avoided for at least 2–4 weeks, depending on your doctor’s guidance. Regular follow-up appointments ensure safe and optimal recovery.
Important Precautions After Today LASEK
To ensure optimal healing and outcomes, patients should avoid eye rubbing, swimming, and heavy eye strain during the early recovery period. Strict adherence to prescribed eye drops and follow-up visits is essential. Protective eyewear is recommended in bright or dusty environments to support safe corneal regeneration.
Following post-operative precautions helps protect the cornea during healing, reduces the risk of infection or complications, and ensures long-term stable vision results.
No. Avoid rubbing or pressing your eyes for at least the first few weeks, as this can displace the corneal epithelium and affect healing.
Refrain from swimming, hot tubs, contact sports, and heavy eye strain (long screen use) until your doctor confirms full recovery. Protect your eyes from dust, wind, and bright sunlight.
Use prescribed eye drops exactly as instructed, follow hygiene guidelines, and wear protective eyewear when necessary. Do not skip follow-up appointments, as they are crucial to monitor healing.
Light daily activities may resume within a few days, but full visual stabilization and return to sports or rigorous activities usually take 2–4 weeks, depending on individual healing and your doctor’s guidance.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Today LASEK?
Today LASEK is particularly suitable for patients with thinner corneas, dry eye tendencies, or those who may not be ideal candidates for flap-based procedures. A thorough preoperative evaluation is essential to determine whether Today LASEK is the safest and most effective option for each individual.
Today LASEK is ideal for patients with thin corneas, mild dry eye, or conditions that make flap-based procedures like LASIK less suitable. It is also effective for patients seeking precise, surface-based vision correction.
Yes. Today LASEK can correct a wide range of myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Your doctor will evaluate corneal thickness and other factors to ensure safety and optimal outcomes.
Most adults over 18 with stable vision are candidates. For presbyopia (age-related near vision changes), additional evaluation may be needed to determine the best treatment strategy.
Yes. Because Today LASEK preserves more corneal tissue and avoids flap creation, it is often safer and more comfortable for patients with mild to moderate dry eye or irregular corneas.
A comprehensive preoperative examination—including corneal mapping, wavefront analysis, tear evaluation, and overall eye health assessment—ensures that Today LASEK is safe and effective for each individual patient.
Today LASEK Procedure: Step-by-Step
The Today LASEK procedure begins with comprehensive preoperative diagnostics to evaluate corneal thickness, shape, and visual quality.
During treatment, a customized laser ablation is performed under precise eye-tracking control. Post-procedure, a protective contact lens is applied to support corneal healing, followed by structured postoperative care to ensure safe recovery and stable vision.
BSM Eye Care Clinic in Gangnam uses state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to measure corneal thickness from multiple perspectives, ensuring the most accurate assessment for each patient. Advanced devices such as TONOPACHY, PENTACAM, and SIRIUS allow ophthalmologists to evaluate the cornea non-invasively and in detail, including:
Central and peripheral thickness
Anterior and posterior corneal surfaces
Irregularities or early signs of corneal conditions
By combining multiple high-precision measurements, we can create a complete corneal profile, enabling safer, customized, and more predictable vision correction procedures such as Today LASEK.
