Keratoconus, also known as keratectasia, refers to a progressive condition where a portion of the cornea fails to maintain its original gentle, rounded shape and instead protrudes outward. Our clinic ranked hightest in the number of keratoconus/keratectesia treatments among all the ophthalmology clinics in the nation, even surpassing university hospitals. Compared to other medical facilities, we possess surgical experience that ranges from several times to several hundred times more, coupled with ongoing research into new treatment methodologies. We have also monitored the progress of thousands of keratoconus/keratectasia patients and have published our findings in academic circles.

Our expertise has been internationally acknowledged. In 2009, we were the first in both Korea and Asia to be awarded 'The Lord of Keraring.' By 2011, we again achieved a first in Korea and Asia by receiving the 'Master of Intacs' award. In 2016, we were globally recognized for having the highest number of ring implantation cases. These accolades further corroborate the world-class specialization of our clinic.

As of 2023, we have over 3,500 surgical cases of keratoconus under our belt, covering ring implantation, collagen cross-linking, and corneal topography ablation procedures. Particularly noteworthy is our global first in combined treatment approaches involving corneal topography guided ablation and collagen cross-linking. We have published comparative studies on all types of rings, two different femtosecond lasers, and the corneal wave of Amaris and T-CAT of EX500 laser platforms.
