It’s been three months since I got lens insertion surgery, and looking back, the biggest struggle was making the decision. I didn’t know anyone who had had the surgery. There are plenty of people around me who have had LASIK or LASEK, but no one had done lens insertion, so I couldn't really ask anyone directly. That left me relying completely on reviews, and going back and forth between the good and bad reviews made it even harder to decide. Eventually, I thought I should at least go for an examination, assuming I could make the decision afterward. The check-up took quite a while, but they explained everything in detail, which made it not boring at all. After it was all done, I asked the doctor a lot of questions I was curious about, and he answered all of them without being vague at all. By the time the consultation ended, I felt ready to make my decision. On the day of the surgery, I was honestly a bit nervous, but it finished so quickly it almost felt surreal. Now that three months have passed, I don’t feel the lens in my eye at all; it’s comfortable, and my vision is great. I struggled for a long time since I didn’t know anyone who had lens insertion surgery, but now I’m the one telling others about it.

I received treatment for dry eyes (tear treatment) at Gangnam Bright Smile Eye Clinic. I had been told that the tears that flow endlessly in winter are a symptom of presbyopia and that they couldn't be treated, so for years, I cried every winter. However, after hearing from a friend that there was treatment available, I decided to visit. The features of the clinic are as follows: 1. Thorough pre-examination: They conduct a wide range of tests systematically, including vision correction surgeries (like LASIK and LASEK). 2. Direct consultation with the director: It's reassuring that not only the consultation manager but also the director personally checks the eye condition and explains the pros and cons of the surgery and treatment candidly. 3. Avoiding unnecessary treatments: I appreciate that they don't force surgery if it's not suitable for the patient's eye condition, instead recommending conservative treatments. They emphasized that my tear treatment wouldn't completely eliminate tears but would gradually improve. 4. Post-treatment care: Even during regular check-ups after surgery and treatment, the director carefully checks the progress and provides feedback. I've received the dry eye (tear) treatment three times, and after the first two sessions, I started to feel some gradual improvement from the third session. I want to decide on continuing treatment based on the results after the final fifth session. Since this is a treatment, it can also be claimed under health insurance.

1 frequently asked questions
Should I undergo LASIK or LASEK, and how much will it cost?
Hello. We apologize for the delay in our response. First, LASIK and LASEK are different surgical methods. LASIK is a procedure suitable for patients with a thick cornea and has a faster recovery, whereas LASEK can generally be performed for most patients. A decision should be made based on the results of your examination. The cost for LASEK is 690,000 KRW, and for LASIK, it is 1,290,000 KRW. Thank you.
