Why is SMILE LASIK expensive? | Gangnam Station Ophthalmology Clinic Recommendation

Hello, this is Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic 😊

As modern people's smartphone and monitor usage increases,

the number of people experiencing declining eyesight is also on the rise.

Previously, many people with poor eyesight wore glasses or contact lenses,

but with the advent of SMILE LASIK, which offers safe and fast recovery,

there's no longer a reason to wear lenses and glasses that cause discomfort during prolonged use,

and many people are choosing vision correction surgery.

However, SMILE LASIK is priced a bit higher

than general LASIK or LASEK.

Today, we'll take some time to explore why SMILE LASIK is expensive

and information about the average SMILE LASIK cost.

SMILE LASIK Examination Cost

Generally, before undergoing SMILE LASIK, to understand the condition of your cornea,

you must undergo a mandatory SMILE LASIK examination at the hospital where you'll have the surgery.

On average, about 50 types of examinations using specialized equipment are required,

so most hospitals charge a fee for the SMILE LASIK examination.

The examination fee is usually around 50,000 to 100,000 won,

but there are differences between hospitals.

SMILE LASIK Cost

Generally, if you undergo SMILE LASIK without any discounts,

the price is high, ranging from 3,000,000 to 4,000,000 won.

Therefore, most people visit an ophthalmology clinic for surgery using various discounts such as

SMILE LASIK friend discounts, SMILE LASIK affiliate discounts, SMILE LASIK employee discounts, etc.

If you undergo surgery with such affiliations, it's possible to have the surgery much cheaper than the original SMILE LASIK cost.

Furthermore, our clinic sometimes offers additional benefits for SMILE LASIK if you undergo same-day surgery,

which can be a good opportunity for those with limited time.

However, there are more cases where people cannot receive affiliations than those who can, such as

not knowing where a friend had surgery or if they don't recommend that hospital,

or if their workplace doesn't have an affiliated hospital.

Currently, Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic is running a summer event for these individuals,

including SMILE LASIK cost discounts and pre-operative examination support,

among various other benefits.

Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic has extensive clinical experience in SMILE LASIK,

holding the record for the most surgeries using ATOS equipment for 4 consecutive years.

However, Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic doesn't just stop at rich clinical experience.

Recently, a research paper was presented at a European conference, demonstrating a 99% target vision achievement rate

with SMILE LASIK surgery using ATOS equipment, proving the safety and excellent visual outcomes of the surgery.

The current event offers:

🏖️Support for over 70 types of precise examination fees

🏖️Maximum discount on costs allowed by medical law

🏖️Additional benefits for same-day surgery

+🏖️100,000 won worth of oxygen therapy upon review registration

These benefits are currently being offered.

Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic performs safe and accurate surgeries with a customized surgical approach for each patient's eye condition.

Unlike factory-style ophthalmology clinics prevalent in Gangnam Station, we always operate the clinic based on a 'people-centered', 'patient-centered' medical philosophy,

prioritizing transparency and safety.
