Dr. Kim Jin-guk, the director of B&L Gangnam Bright World Eye Center, has been a part of the development history of ophthalmology in Korea. He was the first in Korea to perform LASIK surgery in 1999 and the first to introduce presbyopia surgery in 2000. He also introduced state-of-the-art equipment and was the first in Korea to implement a vision correction prediction system using AI. <\/p>\n\n

As such, Dr. Jin Kook Kim, an authority in the field of refractive surgery, received the 2020 Minish. <\/p>\n\n

“We introduced AI to prevent customers’ vision from being determined by uncertain luck,” said Dr. Kim Jin-guk, CEO of the hospital, adding, “We will create a hospital where medical treatment, surgery, and management are based on extremely objective and quantifiable data, not on the outcome of surgery based on the choice of medical staff, and a good hospital where both customers and medical staff get the best results.”<\/p>\n\n

Dr. Kim wanted to straighten his teeth, but was hesitant because he didn’t like the idea of grinding down healthy teeth, until he met Minish. Minish assured him that there was little damage to his teeth. <\/p>\n\n

In fact, Dr. Kim was pleased with the results, saying, “When I received the Minish, they showed me an exact before-and-after comparison of my teeth, and there was almost no grinding. It’s just the shape that’s been straightened.”<\/p>\n\n

Ophthalmologists are concerned about minimizing corneal damage, and Minish’s approach to treating natural teeth as conservatively as possible seems to resonate with them.<\/p>\n\n
