Vision Correction Revision Surgery at Samsung Miracle Eye Clinic to Maintain Clear Vision for the Decades Ahead
Vision Correction Revision Surgery:
Requiring an Experienced Hand
Revision surgery refers to cases where vision deteriorates after previous vision correction. Because the reasons for vision deterioration vary from person to person and are uncommon, it’s more challenging than a primary surgery. Therefore, it’s crucial to select a hospital that conducts a thorough preoperative analysis, has extensive experience with revision surgery, and provides consistent postoperative examinations and follow-up care .
