Nova Smile Pro
More Accurate Docking
Clearer Vision
Automatic center compensation
Nova Smile Pro
Nova Smile Pro is a vision correction procedure
upgraded to the next level from the existing SmartSight method.
It is the latest technology featuring CenTrax®,
the precise center compensation technology of SCHWIND ATOS.

Performed via a minimal incision method that does not create a corneal flap,
it preserves the corneal surface as much as possible.

As a next-generation surgery designed for faster recovery and higher accuracy,
it automatically compensates even for centration errors that can occur after docking,
making it an essential vision correction procedure for patients with ultra-high astigmatism.

For astigmatism,
an additional variable called the Axis exists along with the prescription power,
which heavily impacts the consistency and accuracy of surgical outcomes.

Particularly in eyes with high astigmatism or frequent axis shifts,
decentration and axis errors can combine, causing the overall error to increase exponentially.

Gangnam Brand Eye Clinic has confirmed,
based on years of analyzing astigmatism correction data,
that the CenTrax automatic center·axis compensation function applied to
Nova Smile Pro significantly reduces astigmatism axis errors compared to conventional methods
and consistently demonstrates lower residual astigmatism.

Particularly in high astigmatism,
even a tiny error can significantly affect perceived vision,
making an accurate center
and an accurate axis absolutely essential.

NOVA SMILE Pro is the only technology
that automatically compensates for both factors,
demonstrating a clear clinical superiority in astigmatism correction compared to conventional Smile/LASIK.

    Core Technology
    and Features
    ㆍ
    During surgery,
    it is common for the eye to make micro-movements
    or rotate slightly when in a lying position.
    If this small change causes decentration,
    astigmatism may not be accurately corrected
    at the desired angle,
    or it could lead to side effects
    such as light halos and afterimages.
     

    CenTrax®

    Automatic Center Compensation
    After Docking
    Because it automatically recognizes
    and compensates for micro-decentration
    and astigmatism axis rotation that remain
    even after docking is completed,
    the probability of docking failure is greatly reduced.
    The surgery proceeds smoothly,
    and the precision of astigmatism correction
    is vastly improved.

    Competitor Devices

    With competitor devices, as long as the central axis falls within a certain tolerance range,
    it is judged as 'normal' and the surgery proceeds.
    because this method goes ahead as long as it does not violate the threshold, micro-errors can remain exactly as they are, which can result in the potential occurrence of residual astigmatism.

    Nova Smile Pro

    Even if the central axis is within the tolerance range,
    Nova Smile Pro checks for micro-visual axis errors one more time after docking and performs additional compensation.

    Through this process, the visual axis can be aligned much closer to the actual center, ultimately enabling precise astigmatism correction with minimized axis errors.

    This precise compensation is a crucial factor,
    especially in cases like ultra-high astigmatism,
    where even a tiny error
    can cause a major difference in outcomes.
    Reduction of unnecessary redocking
    Prevention of astigmatism axis misalignment
    Prevention of optical side effects
    caused by decentration
    Stable and consistent refractive results
    The only system that automatically compensates
    for axis errors after docking
    ㆍ
    The refractive value (prescription power)
    entered during the surgical planning phase
    is directly linked to the quality of the final vision.
    Conventional lasers could only input values
    in increments of 0.25D,
    which posed a limitation where a value
    slightly higher or lower
    than the actual eye condition had to be chosen.
     

    Enhanced Accuracy

    Ultra-Precision Refractive
    Input Units
     
    To enable a surgical plan
    that is one step more sophisticated than before,
    Nova Smile LASIK has refined the refractive power
    input unit from 0.25D to 0.05D.

    This means that refractive power can be calculated
    5 times more densely than before,
    allowing the system to reflect even the minute
    prescription differences unique to each patient.
    Reduced risk of over-correction
    or under-correction

    in Astigmatism Treatment
    Sharper Vision Through Precise Reflection
    of Subtle Refractive Differences
    More Precise Laser Delivery & Lenticule Design
    Enhanced Stability of Surgical Outcomes
    Particularly because this is
    applied in conjunction
    with automatic center compensation (CenTrax),
    you can expect consistent,
    high-quality vision outcomes
    with the center location,
    astigmatism axis,
    and refractive power all perfectly
    and elaborately aligned.
    ㆍ
    Low-Energy Laser Technology
    Smooth Cornea
    & Fast Recovery
    By utilizing low pulse energy
    and an asymmetrical spot array,
    the corneal surface is processed more smoothly.
    This leads to fast initial vision recovery
    and enhances visual clarity.
    ㆍ
    SIRIUS
    Data-Driven
    Sophistication
    It works in tandem with SIRIUS equipment
    to automatically load diagnostic data.
    Information such as the patient's pupil center,
    corneal topography,
    and astigmatism axis is directly transferred
    to the surgical equipment.
    In Nova Smile LASIK, CenTrax utilizes this data
    to enable a more sophisticated surgical procedure.
    Safer & Clearer
    Minimal Incision
    It minimizes corneal nerve damage, thereby reducing
    the risk of post-operative dry eye syndrome,
    and the incision wound heals
    on its own within 2 to 3 days.
    Since it achieves the desired refractive power
    while protecting the cornea,
    it is also highly suitable for individuals
    who are very active or at risk of physical trauma.
    Gangnam
    Brand Eye Clinic
    finalizes it with
    'Accuracy.'
    This is not a surgery where outcomes are
    guaranteed just because the equipment is good.
    Even when using the identical equipment,
    the quality of vision changes completely depending on
    how the examination is conducted,
    how the center is aligned,
    and what values are programmed into the system.

    Gangnam Brand Eye Clinic is a clinic equipped
    with its own customized protocol
    that translates equipment specifications
    into actual clinical results.

    Longer Examination Times
    Deeper Diagnostic Methods

    Gangnam Brand Eye Clinic
    never cuts corners on diagnostic time.
    The doctor personally verifies each individual’s corneal structure, visual axis, pupil size, astigmatism axis,
    corneal center angle of deviation, and high-order aberrations to determine the safest correction range.

    While other clinics market 'fast examinations' as an advantage,
    we believe looking at the eyes longer and understanding them accurately is far more important.

    Turning ultra-precise calculations
    into precision treatment.

    Gangnam Brand Eye Clinic
    factors in corneal curvature, binocular vision balance,
    astigmatism composition
    (regular/irregular astigmatism),
    pupil size, and more to meticulously design and program the truly necessary 0.05D units.

    Values planned this way map perfectly to the laser delivery dosage,
    lenticule thickness, and ablation geometry,
    leading to more natural and stable vision.

    Possession of
    'Gangnam Brand Eye Clinic’s
    Unique Settings'
    Optimized
    for Nova Smile Pro

    Although automatic center compensation (CenTrax)
    is an outstanding technology,
    the central alignment performed automatically
    by the machine delivers its maximum effect only 'when the baseline point is accurate.

    Based on a diverse range of cases,
    Gangnam Brand Eye Clinic has established baseline
    center values for each eye shape, axis-direction compensation values,
    and corneal deviation compensation formulas,
    elevating the accuracy of Nova Smile Pro to the next level.

    Equipment Performance
    x Condition Analysis
    x CenTrax Baseline Setting
    True results come out only
    when these three factors are combined.

    What decides
    the outcome is data,
    not the equipment.

    While many clinics talk about equipment specifications,
    Gangnam Brand Eye Clinic focuses on minimizing outcome variance
    based on cumulative data from thousands of actual cases,
    alongside precise centration, accurate prescription input, and exact astigmatism axis alignment.

    Gangnam Brand Eye Clinic
    has evolved Nova Smile Pro into a 'data-driven, high-precision vision correction surgery,'
    rather than a procedure that solely relies on machine performance.

    Nova Smile Pro
    is highly recommended for

    • Those who are afraid of docking failures in Smile LASIK

    • Patients with ultra-high astigmatism

    • Those who want to reduce the likelihood of post-operative dry eye syndrome

    • Those who are highly active and worried about the risk of physical trauma

    • Those who require precision center compensation

    • Those who prioritize night vision and sharp visual quality
