The expanding future of myopia correction
New director Dr. Takashi Kojima talks about a new step in myopia correction. He explains his decision to introduce the first "Smile Pro with Bijumax 800" in Japan, and the benefits its revolutionary performance brings to patients. Please take a look.
Achievement of over 10,000,000 eyes worldwide
Our hospital has performed surgery on over 3,600 eyes.
SMILE, the standard in myopia correction surgery, has been performed on over 10,000,000 eyes worldwide. For those with moderate to severe myopia, this is a safe and reliable surgery that can provide good vision.
Nagoya Eye Clinic has been in operation since September 2012, and has since supported the improvement of eyesight with reliable technology and careful care, having treated over 9 eyes in the 14 years since.

Director Kojima and Vice Director Yoshida have been certified as having completed official SmilePro training by Zeiss, the manufacturer of the cutting-edge laser device Bijumax 800, which is compatible with SmilePro.
This certification indicates that the surgeons are doctors with solid knowledge and skills, and patients can undergo Smile Pro surgery with greater safety and peace of mind.-

- Features of SMILE pro
1
- Fast and precise laser projection
- Shorter surgery time
- High-speed laser irradiation shortens the overall surgery time, reducing the "tension" and "anxiety" that patients feel during surgery. Smile surgery requires patients to be conscious of not moving their eyes, and if the eyes move during laser irradiation, the suction that secures the laser to the eyeball may come off (suction loss). By shortening the laser irradiation time, it is expected that the risk of suction loss will be greatly reduced.

(VisuMax500)
- Reduce eye strain
- Shorter laser irradiation reduces the time the eyes are open, which reduces damage to the cornea caused by dryness, as well as eye fatigue and stress. This may result in faster recovery after surgery.
- Improved accuracy and stability
- The eyeball center correction and eyeball rotation correction systems installed in Smile Pro make it possible to minimize errors caused by misalignment and rotation of the eyeball during treatment, which is expected to improve the accuracy of vision correction.

Accurately detects pupil movement,
Quickly captures the center of the eye. -
Corrects the rotation of the axis of astigmatism,
Improves the accuracy of astigmatism correction.

- Efficient Operations
- The efficient design alternates between the arm that creates the slices (lenticules) with high-speed laser irradiation and the arm that extracts the slices, aligned with the patient's eye position. This means that patients can receive the procedure safely and with peace of mind by simply lying down in a relaxed position.

After follow
Other clinics tend to compete on the length of their warranty period, and many facilities boast lifetime warranties, but myopia often returns shortly after surgery, so there is no practical benefit to a long warranty period. Also, if your vision deteriorates due to other causes, such as presbyopia or cataracts, SmilePro/Smile alone cannot provide care, and other treatments are required.
At Nagoya Eye Clinic, we believe that our true relationship with our patients begins after surgery. As your family eye doctor, we will provide lifelong support to ensure that you never have to worry about your eyesight.
