Many also visit based on recommendations from friends and acquaintances.

One of the main reasons many people visit recommended eye clinics is not just concerns about cost, but also because it's a surgery performed on the eyes. Therefore, they prioritize choosing a safe surgery that will lead to high satisfaction with the actual results.

Recently, with the rapid and steady advancement of medical technology and equipment, the range of vision correction surgeries available has also expanded.

As surgeries become more diverse, the price range also widens.

To do this, a thorough precise examination is crucial!

For those who have heard a lot about LASIK surgery but don't know much about it!!

It refers to a surgical method where a corneal flap is created and opened, the cornea is reshaped with a laser, and then the opened corneal flap is covered again.

For those curious about LASEK surgery?!

It's a vision correction surgery that involves removing the corneal epithelium. It is characterized by a large amount of residual cornea and strong resistance to external impact. It is one of the well-suited surgeries if you engage in activities that involve eye impact or a lot of outdoor activities.

Since LASIK and LASEK surgeries each have different pros and cons, it is best to choose a vision correction method that considers your eye condition and usual lifestyle.

For those concerned about pain, recovery time, and residual corneal thickness, Smart LASIK, known as 5th generation vision correction surgery, may be a good fit.

Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic's New SMILE LASIK allows for more precise customized correction through astigmatism correction via corneal incision in 5th generation ATOS [Smart LASIK].

It combines the advantages of LASIK and LASEK with fast recovery, 7-dimensional eye tracking, and precise correction of high astigmatism through ocular cyclotorsion compensation. This makes it a well-suited vision correction method for those who found traditional LASIK and LASEK surgeries difficult.

LASEK surgery prices generally range from 1 million to 2 million won.

As more people seek Gangnam LASIK/LASEK eye clinics, many compare price benefits.

Rather than just comparing the cost of vision correction surgery, it's important to check all aspects such as the surgical method, safety, and post-operative care. Therefore, confirming whether the clinic has medical staff with a high understanding of the surgery and whether Gangnam Eye Clinic provides thorough post-operative care can be an important selection point.

Generally, many people worried about the safety of LASIK surgery due to the formation of a corneal flap, while for LASEK surgery, many worried about post-operative pain and recovery time.

Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic's New SMILE LASIK surgery is a new method of corneal incision. It involves creating a lenticule in the cornea using a femtosecond laser and then removing the lenticule through a minimal incision of about 2mm, correcting high myopia and high astigmatism. One of its characteristics is less burden of pain and recovery time.

Furthermore, because the incision is small, there is less concern about dry eyes, which is why many people who were considering existing vision correction surgeries choose it.
