Presbyopia Cataract Surgery Key Point

Step 2: Posterior Chamber Intraocular Lens (IOL) Implantation

While choosing the perfect lens for your individual needs is crucial, even more crucial is the lens prescription that creates a refractive index of zero. Current prescription calculation programs used by many ophthalmologists are tailored to Western standards and are not optimized for Asians. 

To address this, Samsung Miracle has developed the ‘Miracle Formula’, Korea’s first prescription calculation program tailored to Asians, based on over 3,000 surgeries performed in Korea .

Customizable, Highly Accurate Lens Prescription Formula, Developed by Samsung Miracle

Existing formulas for calculating presbyopia cataract lens prescriptions are tailored to Western standards and are not optimized for other races. Because of this, Samsung Miracle has developed the Miracle Formula, a lens prescription calculation formula tailored to all races, based on data from over 3,000 surgeries performed in Korea.

Published papers and presented at international conferences, our unique technology has been proven globally.

By presenting the Miracle Formula at the 2023 European Society of Refractive Surgery (ESCRS), a world-renowned ophthalmology society, we have made our technology known worldwide, and by publishing related papers, we have proved that Samsung Miracle Eye Clinic is playing a leading role in presbyopic cataract surgery.

Presbyopia vs. Cataracts

Presbyopia and cataracts have similar symptoms, so they are easy to confuse, and it is common for presbyopia and cataracts to occur at the same time.

Cataract Surgery and Lens Implant in Korea Samsung Miracle eye clinic seoul

Presbyopia (Farsightedness)

Presbyopia is a condition in which the muscles around the lens that adjust focus for near and far distances lose elasticity, making it difficult to see up close.

Presbyopic Vision

Cataract Surgery and Lens Implant in Korea Samsung Miracle eye clinic seoul

Presbyopia Self-Diagnosis

  • Decreased vision: Near vision becomes blurred, while distant vision feels relatively clear.
  • Difficulty switching focus: When you alternate between looking at near and far objects, focusing speed slows down.
  • Causes eye fatigue and headaches: If you work at close range for a long time, you may quickly become tired or get a headache.
  • Increased reading distance: When reading a newspaper or book, you need to hold it at least 35cm away to see the text clearly.

Cataract

Light entering the eye is refracted through the lens, a transparent refracting organ, and forms an image on the retina. A disease in which the lens becomes cloudy and light cannot pass through properly is called a cataract.

Cataracts Vision

Cataract Self-Diagnosis

  • Vision loss: Vision becomes hazy and cloudy, as if covered in fog. Because it progresses gradually and accompanied by a decline in visual acuity, it may not be recognized early.
  • Double vision: Even if you look with only one eye, objects appear double or triple.
  • Day blindness: Your eyes may feel sore in bright places, you may squint frequently when exposed to light, and you may have trouble seeing in dark places or indoors. Light may appear diffuse or dazzling, making it difficult to open your eyes.
  • Light spread: I feel glare from bright lights such as streetlights or fluorescent lights.
