Smile LASIK during summer vacation and vacation season, worry about heat wave 'Giwoo'

Aug 08, 2024

The heat wave continues this summer due to the hot air, but in August, the summer vacation and vacation season overlap, and vision correction surgery for college students, international students, and young office workers is concentrated. This is because I want to be freed from uncomfortable lenses or glasses when I have time. The preferred vision correction surgery is mainly Smile LASIK and SmilePro, and if the surgery is not possible, the vision can be restored through ICL lens insertion surgery.

There are questions I often hear from people undergoing surgery at this time. I am worried and curious about 'Will it be okay to have vision correction surgery when the weather is very hot?' and 'Isn't it possible to get surgery in hot weather?'

In conclusion, heat and vision correction surgery are not related. Unlike in the distant past, antibiotics and disinfection technology are now the best, so it is difficult to get surgery because it is hot. If you manage it properly according to the guidance of your doctor after surgery, you can safely undergo vision correction surgery regardless of the season, and summer does not have a variable. One thing is, care should be taken to prevent sweat from entering the eyes after vision correction to prevent problems even if it is done. When sweat flows into your eyes, you can immediately wash it with antibiotic eye drops.

And it is even better to be careful of some of the following points after vision correction surgery in the summer.

In the case of LASIK and LASEK, exercise should be at least a week and water play should not be done for a month. If you have received Smile LASIK or Smile Pro, you can enjoy light daily life from the next day, and after a week or two, you can do light exercise or play in the water. Of course, regardless of the season, after surgery, you should wear sunglasses when going out to protect your eyes from strong ultraviolet rays.

Smile LASIK and SmilePro have better vision quality than other vision correction methods, and there are fewer restrictions and are convenient because they minimize corneal damage, so they recover quickly and have high safety. In particular, the minimally cut 1mm small surgery, which reduces the general incision window size of 2~4mm to less than 1~1.9mm, maximizes this effectiveness and safety. Of course, only hospitals equipped with special technologies and dedicated surgical instruments can apply this technology so that surgical tools can enter and exit with 1mm of fine incision windows and sufficiently withstand the surgical process.

Minimizing corneal damage in vision correction surgery is an important factor in securing safety and quality of vision, so it should be carefully examined before vision correction. And just because it's summer, there are no restrictions or changes in surgery. However, it is natural to pay more attention to personal hygiene than ever before.
