Hello, this is Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic 😊💙
Actress Ryu Hyo-young, known for her diverse charms,
visited our Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic.
Actress Ryu Hyo-young is a former idol from Co-ed School (F-ve Dolls),
and is currently active as an actress.
She is also widely known as the twin sister of former T-ara member Ryu Hwa-young.


Actress Ryu Hyo-young had been experiencing significant discomfort due to astigmatism
during acting scenes and script readings,
but had postponed vision correction surgery for a long time due to fear of the procedure.
SMILE surgery is pain-free and very quick,
making it advantageous for those who are afraid of surgery
to undergo vision correction without burden.
Furthermore, the ATOS SMILE (Smart LASIK) procedure performed at our clinic
is a precise technique with accurate center marking and eye rotation axis correction,
making it particularly specialized for astigmatism correction.


After meticulously completing over 70 types of examinations,
Actress Ryu Hyo-young was diagnosed with eyes suitable for SMILE surgery,
and was able to undergo the SMILE procedure at our clinic.
After the surgery,
she even left an interview stating that she strongly recommends SMILE surgery,
wondering why she hadn't done it sooner😊😊


Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic will continue to
support Ryu Hyo-young's diverse activities and healthy eyes 👏
