Vision Correction Surgery: What's the Connection Between SMILE, LASIK, LASEK, and MBTI?
Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic utilizes MBTI to provide truly customized vision correction, ensuring patient-centered care and achieving a 99% target vision success rate.
Hello. This is Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic.
New SMILE LASIK [trademark acquired by Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic], a 5th-generation vision correction surgery using ATOS equipment,
was introduced in 2022 and has accumulated extensive clinical experience.
As a result, we have achieved astonishing results, with a 99% target vision success rate,
proven through domestic and international papers.
Additionally, with the introduction of ATOS, Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic
now asks patients to fill in their MBTI on the medical questionnaire.
Many patients who visit us wonder why they need to provide their MBTI.
Why do I need to write down my MBTI????
Why does Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic want to know your MBTI?
The reason lies in the pre- and post-operative processes.
While selecting the appropriate vision correction surgery based on the patient's eye condition through accurate results is important, Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic's
‘true customized vision correction surgery’ encompasses all the above, where the attending physician anticipates patients' diverse personalities and tendencies in advance.
This allows for sufficient explanation tailored to the patient's needs and leads to highly successful surgical outcomes :)
Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic's achievement of a 99% target vision success rate is not only due to the medical team's skill
but also the fact that patients trusted Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic and cooperated with us!!
As a result, we have achieved excellent results with a 99% target vision success rate through papers accumulated over time at ESCRS [European Society of Cataract & Refractive Surgeons], ESCRS [Korean Society of Cataract & Refractive Surgeons], and JKOS [Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society].

True customized vision correction surgery

*The MBTI section on the medical questionnaire is not mandatory,
