First Samsung Eye Clinic,
Designated as a Clear Smile
‘International Clinical Research Center’
First Samsung Eye Clinic is the only Clear Smile International Training Centre in Korea recognized by ZIEMER,
the company that develops the 4th generation Clear Smile Z8.
Swiss company ZIEMER is constantly conducting joint research with First Samsung Eye Clinic
for better surgical results and laser upgrades.
First Samsung Eye Clinic, with its continuous research and vast expertise in monograms,
has been appointed as an international clinical research center.
It has also been designated as a training center for domestic and foreign medical staff.
First Samsung Eye Clinic,
Clear Smile ‘Most operated eye clinic in Korea’
First Samsung Eye Clinic has a rich clinical experience and know-how as the most operated eye clinic in Korea for Clear SMILE.
Two eye clinic specialists, who have been selected as Clear Smile Expert Doctors,
directly operate surgeries to increase the stability of surgery.

CLEARSMILE
CLEARSMILE is a minimally incisive version of the same lenticule removal procedure as SMILE,
and is a fourth-generation vision correction surgery that reduces corneal damage
and provides precise astigmatism correction with more sophisticated laser surgery
than the previous third-generation surgery.

Clear Smile Surgery Process
STEP 01 - Lenticule creation
A lenticule, a small circular flap
of corneal tissue, is created by
making an incision in the cornea.
STEP 02 - Lenticule Extraction
The lenticule is removed through
the incision with minimal
irritation to the cornea.
STEP 03 - Corrected vision
By removing the lenticule,
the cornea is reshaped to
correct the refractive error.
Clear Smile Equipment
Ziemer Z8 Laser
Clear Smile using the Ziemer Z8 Laser (FEMTO LDV Z8)
is a surgical procedure in which the corneal parenchyma
is very precisely ablated and extracted through a
micro-incision of 2 mm, making it resistant to external impact.
With less thermal damage to the cornea and a smooth
surgical incision, there are fewer post-operative symptoms
such as dry eye syndrome and light flashes.
It is possible to correct not only high myopia
but also sophisticated astigmatism.
Fast recovery, so patients can usually return to
normal activities the next day after surgery.

Clear Smile POINT
Low energy
The laser irradiation distance of Clear is shorter than Smile
Therefore, the laser irradiation with low energy and
small focus is possible, which prevents heat damage and creates a smooth surface.
Fast and fine laser beam
A small laser spot size is precise and minimizes tissue damage, leading to fast recovery
Fast laser repetition rate of over 5000 kHz for stable, smooth incisions with minimal peripheral damage
Ocular Circumference Correction
Accurate measurement even in the supine position using Alcon's real-time astigmatism measurement device (Verion®)
After corneal fixation, the center point can be moved via the interface,
and precise center point setting enables precise customized astigmatism correction
Upgraded docking system
Z8 is fixed directly to the eye to control ocular vibrations and pupil movements.
High fixation pressure dramatically solves the error of loosening fixation!
Low risk of suction loss with 2 times the fixation force of conventional smile surgery
Adjustable positioning of the incision allows for optimal separation of
the corneal parenchyma at the optimal position for improved vision quality
Equipped with OCT
Real-time, high-resolution corneal monitoring at the time of
surgery for more precise visual correction by viewing the corneal parenchyma layer
