Multifocal intraocular lens surgery performed on 3,500 eyes

Our hospital began performing surgery using multifocal intraocular lenses in 2007, and has now performed surgery on a total of 3,500 eyes.
This figure is the largest number of successful cases in the Tokai region, and is the result of many years of careful work accumulated one example at a time.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to neighboring medical institutions for their trust in our track record and service and for always referring their patients to us.

A diverse lens lineup and thorough counseling
One of the features of our clinic is the wide variety of multifocal intraocular lenses we carry.
Currently, we carry six types of lenses approved in Japan, as well as three unapproved types of lenses that are widely used overseas, from which we select the most suitable lens for each patient.
However, with so many options available, it's not uncommon for people to worry about not knowing which lenses are right for them.
At our hospital, in addition to thorough preoperative examinations using corneal shape and corneal higher-order aberration analysis that we have cultivated through refractive surgery, we also set aside ample time for advance counseling and carefully listen to patients' lifestyles and wishes to help them make a satisfactory choice.
In some cases, we may suggest a monofocal intraocular lens instead of a multifocal intraocular lens. As a result, the number of cases in which the multifocal lens does not fit and has to be replaced with a monofocal lens is only 0.1% at our clinic.
This is an extremely low figure given the national average replacement risk of approximately 1.2%, and we believe it is the result of our careful selection process.

Going forward, all of our staff will continue to work sincerely to increase the value of "visibility."
We will continue to strive to make the option of multifocal intraocular lenses a safe and satisfying option for more people.

SMILE pro surgery at Nagoya Eye Clinic: A track record and progress with 3,900 successful surgeries.

<<The evolved SMILE pro. Optimal treatment tailored to each individual's eyes.>>

At Nagoya Eye Clinic, we have been using the SMILE (Smile) surgery for 14 years since its launch in September 2012.
As a pioneer in refractive surgery, we have consistently provided safe and high-quality treatment.

We are pleased to announce that we have achieved a cumulative total of 3,900 eye treatments (including the current SMILE pro).

In June 2025, we will introduce the latest model, "VISUMAX 800," the first of its kind in Japan, and launch the next generation of "SMILE pro."
Initially, we offered it alongside the conventional SMILE, but at that stage, over 80% of users had already chosen SMILE pro.
We have now discontinued the original SMILE and consolidated everything into "SMILE pro".

The biggest feature of SMILE pro is that the laser irradiation time has been drastically reduced to just 10 seconds.
This not only further reduced the burden on patients during surgery,
By incorporating the latest digital integration technologies (centration function and astigmatism axis correction function), we provide more advanced and precise vision correction.

ICL or SMILE pro? We'll help you choose the best vision correction surgery for you.

We offer both ICL (intraocular contact lens) and SMILE pro (next generation laser surgery).
It's not about which one you can do, but which one is best for you.
To determine this, we will use our extensive track record and the latest test data to carefully listen to your desired lifestyle after surgery and propose the best option for you.
Of course, we will never give you any unreasonable advice or solicitations.
Please feel free to carefully consider your options based on the results of the aptitude test.
We will do our best to support you in making the best choices to enrich your life through the experience of "seeing."

Regarding incisions and sutures in ICL surgery

The incision width for ICL surgery is very small, about 3mm, but if you rub your eyes hard in the early postoperative period,
If you receive a severe blow, there is a risk that the wound will reopen.
At our hospital, skilled surgeons in intraocular surgery employ "sufficient tunnel length" and "a curved knife with excellent closure properties,"
We have devised a method to ensure that the incision closes naturally and firmly.
Therefore, for people leading a normal life, we generally believe that sutures are unnecessary.
However, this is not suitable for people who may unconsciously rub their eyes due to conditions such as atopic dermatitis,
For patients who wish to further enhance postoperative safety, we will use absorbable sutures (sutures that dissolve naturally) if necessary.
If you have any concerns, please feel free to consult your doctor. Please note that at our hospital, all procedures deemed necessary for the patient are included in the surgery fee.
We do not charge any additional fees for suturing.

How to choose cataract surgery to achieve the best vision for you

-- The best method to suit your "way of seeing" --
Cataract surgery is not just about replacing the cloudy lens.
At Nagoya Eye Clinic, we provide treatments tailored to each patient's lifestyle and wishes.
You can choose how the surgery will proceed.

① Separate days for both eyes (2-step method)
First, have surgery on one eye and then experience the actual vision.
This is how to adjust the power of the other lens.
・You can pursue the "ideal appearance" that suits your lifestyle
- After checking how it actually looks, you can adjust the other one for a better balance.
・The number of visits to the hospital will increase, and the postoperative restriction period will be slightly longer.
Recommended for those who want to carefully adjust their appearance.

② Same-day surgery on both eyes
This method allows surgery on both eyes to be completed in one day.
With fewer visits to the hospital, you can return to your daily life in a short time.
・The surgery can be completed in one day, reducing the burden of visiting the hospital
Minimize the impact on work and life
・By treating both eyes at the same time, you can live comfortably without any difference in vision between the left and right eyes.
It may look a little different than you imagined.
Recommended for those who are busy with work or who want to see better quickly.

Together we will design the look that suits you best

ICL surgery at Nagoya Eye Clinic: Our track record and progress with 8000 procedures performed.

<For those considering vision correction -- Nagoya Eye Clinic offers safe, high-quality ICL surgery -->

Clinical trials for ICL began in Japan in 2003. Nagoya Eye Clinic introduced ICL surgery and has been providing treatment since February 2005.
During this time, ICL has evolved dramatically, and its safety and effectiveness have been established, making it a vision correction surgery chosen by many patients. We, too, have continued to refine our techniques along with its progress, achieving a cumulative record of 8000 surgeries.
At first, we never imagined it would become so popular, but with its improved safety and superior quality of vision, ICL has become a solid choice for patients in Japan.
At Nagoya Eye Clinic, our two surgeons, Chairman Nakamura and Director Kojima, both expert instructors in ICL surgery, provide safer and more precise procedures. We promise to continue utilizing cutting-edge technology and experience to provide each and every patient with the best possible vision.
