Expert in specialized PIOL implantation Dr David Sung Yong Kang, EYEREUM EYE CLINIC Gangnam, Seoul is worldwide recognized as an expert in Artiflex Toric lenses. He has implanted the largest number of these lenses in 2015. He shares his experience by publications in leading scientific magazines and presentations on the major worldwide congresses. Korea is well-known for a prevalence ratio of excessive myopia. According to a recent report from the Korean Ophthalmology Society, an increasing number of 80% of the Korean teenagers, aged between 12-18, have high myopia. This is about 4 times higher than the percentage of high myopia by senior citizens over 60 years old. 70% of those high myopic teenagers are patients with an extreme myopia. This report also indicates that the eye sight of 80% of the Korean teenagers can be surgically corrected once the myopia stabilizes at the age of 18 years. The prevalence ratio of high myopia could explain the rise in eye sight correction surgery cases and high-speed development of related medical techniques. Phakic IOL implantation which is suddenly gathering attention in other Asian countries such as China has already been actively performed for more than 15 years in Korea. This is one of the reasons that there is a lot of knowledge and expertise of this procedure in Korea. Dr David Sung Yong Kang is one of the experts. He is clinical director at the EYEREUM EYE CLINIC, located in Gangnam, a district of South Korea's capital Seoul. This clinic is well known not only for the correction of high myopia and astigmatism but also for complication treatment after PIOL implantation. Dr Kang implanted the most Artiflex Toric lenses in 2015. A large percentage of his patients have extremely high myopia, of over -15 D. He thoroughly investigates the risk factors of cataract and glaucoma prior to any surgery. To provide highest level of safety he scrutinizes each patients unique factors, and may decide not to perform the surgery even if he sees only a 1% chance that a complication occurs. Dr Kang considers it important to share his knowledge on this procedure. That is why he often receives colleagues from other Asian countries to show details of his surgery technique. He also shares his surgical videos showing his surgical skills. Dr Kang has published many papers in peer review journals on phakic intraocular lenses in three consecutive years; 2014 and 2015 in the Journal AJO (American Journal of Ophthalmology), and in 2016 a paper will appear in the Peer Review journal YMJ (Yonsei Medical Journal). This paper 'Comparison of toric foldable iris-fixated phakic intraocular lens implantation and limbal relaxing incisions for moderate-to-high myopic astigmatism' is a co study done in cooperation with the Severance Medical School. Through this study, Dr Kang has proven that Artiflex Toric can provide superior astigmatism correction in addition to the minimization of night glare and dry eyes, common complications with LRI.
