I was really tired of looking for my lenses every morning, so I finally got SMILE LASIK..!! They did thorough checks on my corneal thickness and vision, and I appreciated the consultation where they used an AI program to analyze which surgery was right for me. At first, I had a slight feeling like something was in my eye, but that went away after a day or two. Now it's been about a month, and if I had known how comfortable this would be, I would have done it soonerㅠㅋㅋㅋ If anyone is considering SMILE LASIK, I highly recommend it!

☆I had smile LASIK done, and all the doctors and nurses were very kind and took great care of me. I was nervous about the surgery, but they helped me relax and everything went well. They also explained the care before and after the procedure really well, and their skills are definitely impressive!

☆I appreciate the friendly consultation and quick treatment. I had Smile LASIK done, and even though the technology is excellent, I was still worried since it's a surgery. However, seeing the facility's size and the number of visitors made me feel reassured that this hospital is well-regarded.

I visited this clinic on a friend's recommendation and after checking out other clinics, I found the explanations here to be much clearer and easier to understand. So I decided to go ahead with the SMILE LASIK and I really think I made the right choice.

I had smile LASIK surgery, and I really appreciate how detailed the eye exam consultation was. From the pre-surgery check-up to follow-up after the surgery, everything was conducted kindly and meticulously. Thank you so much! I will gladly use the various gifts you gave me along with the warranty after the surgery.

*I went around to several hospitals, and this one was the best. They didn't just push for an expensive surgery; they said that my eyes are fine with just smile LASIK. They suggested I think more about it if I'm feeling hesitant. I really appreciated their honesty, so I made the surgery appointment.

I visited at the recommendation of a friend. I made an appointment after being told that I could have the surgery on the same day as the exam. I looked into other places, but not many offer surgery on the same day after the exam. The waiting time for the exam was under an hour, which was great, and I was able to have the surgery almost right away. Since I'm working, it was nice to have the surgery on the same day. I received the Smile LASIK procedure from Dr. Hong Seong-ho, and he explained everything step by step, almost like comforting a baby, which helped me endure the pain. I only felt pain for about 2 hours that day, and afterward, my vision improved to 1.2! I'm really satisfied that I could go back to my daily life the next day. I'm planning to recommend this to my friend too!

*I visited after making an appointment, and as soon as I arrived, I received thorough and detailed examinations, which made me feel confident in the care I was receiving. After the tests, I had a consultation with the doctor, where I received various advice related to the surgery, and they explained smile LASIK in a way that was easy to understand.

*I came once to get a prescription for artificial tears, and there were many people getting Smile LASIK at that time, so I decided to go for it too. They say it's better to visit several clinics, but I came here because of my artificial tears and dry eyes. I knew the doctor was attentive, so I just made the decision.

*I initially went in to get smile lasik, but after the examination, it turned out my cornea was too thin, so I switched to lens implantation. Honestly, I hesitated a bit at first, but the explanation was so thorough and there was a dedicated team that made me feel confident. It’s amazing to see clearly right after the surgery!

I'm in my mid-30s, and I felt like it was about time to do something, so I went in.~ I had heard that their check-ups were thorough, and they really were just as the rumors say. Looking at the AI analysis results, they said I was a good candidate for Smile Pro, so I went ahead with it. From the start, I wanted to get Smile LASIK or Smile Pro, so I had no complaints. The surgery time was really short, and I didn't feel any pain at all. I had no idea my recovery would be this fast; I was back to my normal routine the very next day. It's not an exaggeration that my quality of life has improved!^^ Wearing glasses feels like a thing of the past.

A few years ago, I was considering LASIK surgery, and while searching for a hospital, I decided on Smile LASIK and chose Bright Nuri Eye Hospital, which has lots of experience and good reviews. After making a reservation the day before, I visited the hospital, and I noticed that the reception, examination, consultation, and surgery were all organized by floor, which gave me confidence in the process as everything was progressing systematically. After the consultation and examination, it was confirmed that astigmatism correction was possible, and I opted for the Smile Pro surgery, which has a shorter procedure time due to the 8-second laser exposure. I was told that same-day surgery was possible, and I actually received a discount and was able to have the surgery on the same day. The surgical process, post-operative care, potential side effects, and the method for using the prescribed medications were all explained in great detail and with kindness.

Before preparing for a baby after getting married, I really wanted to get Smile LASIK done, but I kept putting it off. I kept making excuses saying I was busy and pushing it to the next time. Finally, I did it this year. I was surprised at how many tests there were when I went for the check-up. What impressed me was seeing that they took measurements two or three times; I thought it was a thorough hospital. The AI analysis showed that I was suitable for Smile LASIK, and the consultation was explained in an easy-to-understand way, so I decided right away. The surgery time was so short that I was actually taken aback. After thinking about it for years, it feels a bit anticlimactic to have it end so quickly, but I’m really glad I can see well now, haha.

I took my two kids for vision correction surgery and we had the exams done and the procedures done. I was looking for a place close to home and chose a well-known eye clinic in the Gangbuk area. One child could have any type of surgery, so we went with Smile LASIK, while the other had a LASEK procedure. The clinic is so well-organized with a solid system and manual that I felt really comfortable going through with the surgeries. Now that it’s been almost a month for both, I can say that the Smile LASIK patient had their vision recover to 1.2 the very next day, and they were able to carry on with daily life without much pain. For the LASEK, the third day was the most painful, but after that, it gradually improved, and in the third week, their vision test showed 1.2/0.9. I expect it to get even better! They also did a great job managing post-surgery care, so I trust that you can have your surgery here without needing to go all the way to Gangnam. ^^

*I was really nervous because I know how important the eyes are to the body, but they treated me so kindly and performed the surgery so quickly that I found myself wondering if it was already over. I had SMILE LASIK, and thankfully there wasn't much pain afterward. I’m so happy with it—I only regret not having it done sooner.

☆The ophthalmology clinic is clean, and everything from registration to examination and surgery went quickly. I chose smile LASIK because I needed a fast recovery, and I feel like there were no unnecessary procedures. I'm grateful for their clear communication. It's been a day since the surgery, and aside from a slight blur and some dizziness, I can feel my vision getting better. I'm very satisfied.
