Dr. Na Sung-jin, Director of First Samsung Eye Center, successfully delivered a research presentation on the "Effects of Ocular Surface Management and Dry Eye Treatment Before and After Cataract Surgery" during a Santen online conference. Cataract surgery is not simply about replacing a clouded lens. The health of the cornea and tear film—the initial gateways through which light passes— is a critical factor that determines visual clarity and patient satisfaction post-surgery.
The key research findings presented by Dr. Na are as follows: 1. The Importance of Treating Dry Eye Before Surgery Even without noticeable symptoms, the oil glands in the eyelids are often blocked, leaving the corneal surface rough. By proactively treating dry eye to smooth the cornea prior to surgery, doctors can perform highly precise examinations to determine the perfect intraocular lens and astigmatism correction power without any margin of error. 2. Post-Surgical Ocular Surface Recovery and Enhanced Visual Quality Following surgery, minor inflammation and irritation can weaken the protective tear film, causing the eyes to easily feel dry and blurry. Administering specialized anti-inflammatory treatments—rather than relying solely on standard artificial tears—rapidly regenerates the tear film. This minimizes foreign body sensation and quickly establishes clear, crisp vision without glare.
Designed to fundamentally address the foreign body sensation and blurred vision patients frequently experience after cataract surgery, this research garnered significant attention among ophthalmologists by establishing systematic treatment standards based on actual clinical cases.
 The results of this research, which seamlessly connect precise pre-operative examinations with meticulous post-operative care, clearly demonstrate Dr. Na Sung-jin’s profound academic expertise and extensive clinical experience. As always, First Samsung Eye Center promises to deliver the highest standard of medical care through continuous research. Going beyond the simple success of a surgical procedure, we will continue to research and evolve as a clinic dedicated to maximizing the real-world visual satisfaction our patients experience in their everyday lives. |
