FAQ
How is Odyssey different from other multifocal lenses?
Whereas conventional trifocal lenses create three focal points, Odyssey is a next-generation lens designed to provide a continuous range of focus from distance to near. Suitability is determined by a detailed examination.
Is it really the first in Korea?
Yes. St. Mary's Jin Eye Center was the first clinic in Korea to introduce the Johnson & Johnson Odyssey lens and use it in surgery.
Can every patient choose it?
It may not be suitable depending on corneal condition, pupil size, and retinal health. After a detailed examination, the doctor will explain in person.
The final lens choice is made after reviewing detailed corneal, retinal, and biometry test results together with your lifestyle. The actual surgery takes about 10 minutes per eye and you go home the same day. For pricing, please call 02-577-7782.
