On September 21, 2026, Dr. Gyung Bai Choi, Founder & Medical Director of JC Bit Somang Eye Clinic,

received a commemorative plaque from Alcon, a global leader in eye care, recognizing the achievement of

1,000 vitrectomy procedures performed using the CONSTELLATION Vision System.

Vitrectomy is an advanced retinal surgery used to treat various vitreoretinal conditions,

including retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, and vitreous hemorrhage.

The procedure involves the precise removal of the vitreous gel inside the eye in order to treat and stabilize the retina.

While conventional cataract surgery systems are primarily designed to remove the natural lens

and implant an intraocular lens,

vitrectomy systems are specialized for delicate surgery involving the vitreous and retina in the posterior segment of the eye.

JC Bit Somang Eye Clinic will continue to provide precise and safe ophthalmic care based on extensive clinical experience and advanced surgical technology.
