    Personalized Fifth-Generation Smart SMILE LASIK

    6 days post-LASIK, no pain and daily activities are possible! It looks a bit wobbly and there is some glare, but I'm monitoring it as the recovery period is one month. ✌️ It seems good!

    Last Chance for Presbyopia Benefits This Year

    After undergoing presbyopia LASIK, I experienced some discomfort for about two weeks, but once that passed, I felt pleased with my vision. However, after three months, I started noticing some overlapping in my sight. I've visited the clinic a few times, but I'm left with no option but to use artificial tears. Still, it’s better than not having had the procedure at all. I might need to wear glasses again in 1-2 years.

    Winter! Lasik and Lasek Event

    I was worried that the pain from LASEK would be severe, but on the first day there was some eye discomfort and tearing; however, from the second or third day, as long as I stayed in the dark, it wasn't a significant problem at all!! Moreover, despite the large number of people, the examination was conducted quickly without any major delays, and the consultation was very friendly, so I highly recommend it!!

    Fall LASIK/LASEK Event

    I think because it was LASIK, I didn't feel much pain at all. I took a short walk in the evening, and from the next day, I had no foreign body sensation at all, which was amazing. I wonder why I waited so long to have the surgery... I highly recommend that anyone who is considering it get the surgery as soon as possible, as I am very satisfied!

    [Incheon Location] Vision Correction Event

    I want to be free from glasses, even for a few years. I received a consultation, and they said only LASIK was possible, so I went through with the LASIK! The waiting time takes a bit, but there’s a charger at the chair so I was able to listen to music while waiting, so it wasn’t boring at all! The surgery was quick, and if you can hold on for just 3 days, you’ll experience a whole new world. I also paid for dry eye treatment (+20), and it’s absolutely great!!! Make sure to get the dry eye treatment!! Everyone was kind, and the doctor answered all my questions!! The event price is the same, and just being able to take off my glasses is so wonderful!!!

    Winter! Lasik and Lasek Event

    The price was not significantly different from what was stated, and the hospital was clean with everyone being friendly, which was nice. It's been a week since my LASIK procedure, and my vision is still somewhat recovering, but the dryness I was concerned about is present to some extent, though they said it should improve after about six months. The glare is not much different from before the procedure. Overall, I am satisfied.

    Smile LASIK Event

    I came in thinking about Smile LASIK, but the doctor advised that standard LASIK would be better for my eye condition, so I proceeded with standard LASIK. The staff, including the optometrist, operating room, and consultation room, were all very kind. After the first day, my vision has nearly returned, and other than some slight blurriness when I wake up in the morning or when I'm tired, I can almost resume my daily activities immediately.

    [Incheon Location] Vision Correction Event

    The atmosphere of the hospital at first was spacious and the lighting was comfortable. The places for eye examinations were also gathered in one spot, making it convenient for testing. I was eligible for both LASIK and LASEK, but I went with LASEK on the recommendation of the doctor. Fortunately, the surgery was also possible on the same day. The doctor was kind, and all the hospital staff were attentive and considerate. The teachers in the operating room were also great. During the surgery, they gave me a stuffed toy to hold onto, which helped me a lot as I was nervous. On the first day, my eyes were very stinging and tears were flowing like a tap. However, from the moment I started using the drops, the tears lessened significantly, and my eyes opened slightly. Contrary to my worries, by the next day, I was able to walk around alone in a dim state. However, my eyes suddenly became itchy, so today, at the doctor's suggestion, I received a prescription for antihistamines. It's interesting how the clarity is gradually improving, with notable differences from yesterday to today and morning to evening.

    Winter! Lasik and Lasek Event

    I have been wearing soft contact lenses since the 7th grade, and I was afraid of the surgery, but I decided to go for LASIK this time. The Brand Eye Hospital is clean, and the nurses were very supportive during the surgery, which helped me muster the courage to focus on the procedure despite my fear. I visited the hospital about three times after the surgery, and now six months in, my vision is excellent. There is a slight dryness, but overall I am extremely satisfied.

    [Incheon Location] Vision Correction Event

    I had a check-up on the same day and then had LASIK surgery. They told me my eyes might be uncomfortable for about three days, but the next day, I could see pretty well and my eyes weren’t that sensitive. It’s been about a month since the surgery, and I just got back from a trip to Vietnam last week with no issues at work either. Haha. I also had additional tear duct treatment, and my eyes seem more stable now. I would definitely recommend this to friends and family.

    I’ve been going to this eye clinic for 10 years. After having Today LASIK with Dr. Oh Jung-woo, I’ve been keeping up with regular checkups. There were three doctors back then, but now there are even more. This visit was for my mom’s glaucoma surgery, and before the surgery, they carefully checked her blood pressure to make sure it was safe to proceed ^^ There’s also a café on the 18th floor of the hospital, and the bread is really high quality and delicious. The glaucoma surgery turned out very well too, and my mom is happy. ~

    My son had LASIK surgery. I chose this hospital because the reviews were so good. My son was very satisfied and said he felt he had made a really good decision. I think we’ll come back again next time.

    I used to wear contacts all the time, but my dry eyes kept getting worse, so I thought I couldn’t go on like that anymore. After doing a lot of research and looking around, I found this place~~ The examination took about an hour and a half, but it was over sooner than I expected, and based on the doctor’s evaluation, I had LASIK the same day~~ I was nervous, but everything went smoothly, and I’m very satisfied!!! It’s so convenient and it doesn’t hurt at all!

    Someone I know had LASEK and recommended it because they were happy with the results, so after thinking about it for a while, I decided to have it done too. Wearing contacts for long periods usually made my eyes dry, and wearing glasses was uncomfortable, so it had always been something I worried about. I was concerned that it would hurt before the surgery, but as I went through the recovery period, I could gradually feel my vision becoming more comfortable. I still need to take good care of my eyes, but being able to go about my daily life without glasses or contacts is so convenient. I can see why people recommend it now haha.
